“Where stocked, Mentos 3 Layers Fruity Fresh in particular is proving to be a huge success,” Perfetti Van Melle brand manager Aimee Reason said. “Such consumer demand has resulted in us launching a new Fruity Fresh variant.”
Reason told just-food that the 3 Layers range offers “a completely new concept in gum”, and that Perfetti van Melle is focusing this year on “bringing high quality gum to the UK”.
She added that the Mentos gum range as a whole generates GBP9.7m (US$15.4m) in retail sales in the UK.
