The companies unveiled the products today (4 June) and said the use of characters including Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck would help parents encourage children to eat healthier food.
The Eating Right Kids range – an extension of Safeway’s Eating Right adult line – will go on sale later this year at over 1,700 Safeway stores in the US and Canada.
“Integrating such well-recognised characters into our brand architecture will make the line more attractive to our target audience and augment the line’s success,” said Safeway marketing president Mike Minasi.
The product line includes breakfast foods, portable meals, dairy, snacks, and beverages.
