Commenting on the product launches, director of strategy and brands for Finland, Mika Kukkurainen, stressed that Finns are eating fewer traditional meals and receive up to 40% of their daily energy from snacks. Because of this, demand is growing for “good tasting” and “healthy” snack products, he suggested.
