Kellogg Joybol smoothie bowls launch in UK
Kellogg is bringing its Joybol brand of smoothie bowls to the UK targeted at “young millennials”.
Described as “an all-in-one fruit smoothie bowl”, Joybol contains a mix of grains, nuts, seeds and fruit in an on-the-go pot, which just needs the addition of cold water or milk.
They come in three flavours: Super berries and acai, Strawberry almond quinoa, and Mango and coconut.
Kellogg said: “Joybol is launching into an environment where our target audience of urban millennials is set to be worth 75% of all packaged food growth by 2025. This, combined with the ‘deskfasting’ habit already representing 12% of breakfast occasions, sets Joybol up to take advantage of both the trend and the long-term behaviour of busy, on-the-go consumers.”

US group Hormel Foods is rolling out a line of sauces it says will “bring the authentic flavour of street tacos to your home”.
Hormel has launched Herdez Taqueria Street sauces, products “inspired” by cuisine in Mexico.
“The inspiration for these sauces and the packaging was born from the local taquerias found across Mexico, where a truly authentic street taco needs little more than a simple filling and a drizzle of a sauce from the iconic squeeze bottle,” Sebastian Friedman, brand manager at MegaMex Foods, said.
MegaMex is a venture Hormel set up in 2009 with Herdez Del Fuerte to market Mexican food in the US.
The four Taqueria Street sauces – including ingredients such as habanero and chipotle peppers – are on sale in nine-ounce bottles at a recommended price of US$3.59-3.99.
The Real Yorkshire Pudding Co launches dessert variants
The Real Yorkshire Pudding Co. in the UK is launching two sweet pudding variants in Asda – Rhubarb and Ginger Crumble and Toffee Apple crumble.
Based in Thorne near Doncaster, the company’s puddings are gluten-free and offer consumers a new twist on Yorkshire puddings that are traditionally eaten as an accompaniment to a meal rather than a dessert, particularly for Sunday lunch.
Charles Payne, managing director at the firm bought by food investment group Go2 Foods in 2016 for an undisclosed amount, said: “Over the years, Yorkshire puddings have been eaten as starters and desserts and this is a great way for us, as a brand, to put a modern twist on a traditional British classic.
“As a business, we are focussed on leading innovation within the category and expanding the meal occasions in which Yorkshire puddings are eaten, after all they are not just for Sunday’s.”
The new puddings will sit alongside regular desserts in the chilled aisle.
