“There is huge opportunity and demand from consumers in the category for an exciting range that not only gives kids a fun and delicious after school snack, but that also makes shopping easier by offering a convenient ‘three-in-one’ option,” explained brand manager Rebecca Jakob. “The useful resealable tab also gives kids the opportunity to save their snack.”
Kerry said Cheestrings are a “rich” source of calcium as well as being free from artificial colours, flavours or preservatives,.
The launch will also be supported with a GBP1.5m TV campaign, sampling and in-store campaigns from January 2017 onwards.
