Go deeper with GlobalData
Nestlé has launched a lower sugar range of ice lollies in Australia under its Allen’s confectionery brand.
Allen’s 25% less-sugar range – Allen’s Grubs – has been designed to satisfy rising demand among Australians for more healthy eating options, the Swiss food giant said, adding the comparison is based on the average amount of sugar in the brand’s jellies line-up.
The sugar content has been reduced by substituting the ingredient with a soluble dietary fibre and no artificial sweeteners have been added as an alternative.

Allen’s Grubs come in five fruit flavours: raspberry, pineapple, apricot, blackberry and lemon, and are available in Coles, Big W and independent supermarkets across Australia priced at AUD2.95 (US$2.03).
