Jammie Dodgers

Jammie Dodgers are a popular British biscuit, made from shortcake with a raspberry or strawberry flavoured jam filling. Bought by Burton Biscuit works in 1960, they are currently produced by Burton's Biscuit Company at its factory in Llantarnam. In 2009, Jammie Dodgers were the most popular children's sweet biscuit brand in the United Kingdom, with 40% of the year's sales consumed by adults. Jammie Dodgers were first manufactured at the Crumpsall Biscuit Works of the Co-operative Society in the 1870s. They later moved to the Burton Biscuit factory. Named after the character Roger the Dodger from The Beano comics, Jammie Dodgers have been produced in the United Kingdom for over 60 years,. In 2011, the brand was re-launched under the "Dodgers" umbrella with two new products: Toffee and Choccie.[citation needed] They have been sold in other flavours too, besides raspberry and strawberry.
