“With obesity rates on the rise, many Hispanics want to live a healthier lifestyle, but changing the flavours and traditions of their diet is not an option for most consumers. We’re proud to offer the same authentic flavours to Marinela customers in a perfect 100 calorie portion,” said Marinela USA brand manager Melisenda Barajas.


The company has introduced five Marinela 100-calorie products including Gansito, Pinguinos, Choco Roles, Strawberry Sponch!, and Triki-Trakes.


“Desserts can certainly be a part of a balanced diet. The key is staying active and controlling portions,” Barajas added.


Last month, Bimbo sealed the US$2.5bn acquisition of George Weston’s US bakery business.
