New Sunkist snack products to be launched

Snack it Forward, makers of better-for-you snacks, will debut new Sunkist trueFruit Clusters Sunkist Fruit Chips Medley, new Sunkist Fruit Lover’s Trail Mix flavors and single-serve bags at the upcoming PMA Fresh Summit.

Snack it Forward’s line of Sunkist fruit snacks, often found in the produce section, expands its line of trail mix with new product flavors. Made with premium fruits and tree nuts, Sunkist Fruit Lover’s Trail Mix offers nutritious, fruit-forward blends, never with any fillers like peanuts and raisins, according to Snack it Forward.

The three new Trail Mixes were crafted from blends of exotic fruits, like Guava Chili Mango, Ginger Peach and Kiwi Cantaloupe. Additionally, Sunkist Fruit Lover’s Trail Mix will be available in new single-serve sizes that will be sold as multi-packs. Single-serve flavors available include: Pineapple Coconut, Strawberry Banana and Breakfast Espresso & Granola.

“Snack It Forward’s collaboration with Sunkist has allowed us to drive innovative, fresh ideas and set a standard in the fruit snacking industry,” said Nick Desai, CEO of Snack It Forward. “So many of the fruit snacks on the market today are made from gelatin and lots of added sugar. We are able to expand our footprint with our retailer partners because we are giving consumers what they want- fruit snacks made from real fruit. With the innovative new products we are launching at the PMA Fresh Summit, we truly believe that we are reinventing the fruit snack.”

Snack it Forward’s new Sunkist Fruit Chips Medley feature a blend of seasonal fruits, picked at peak ripeness. Made with real fruit, never fried or baked, the new Sunkist Fruit Chips Medley are the closest thing to fresh with a longer shelf life, according to Snack it Forward. New flavors include Banana-Mango-Pineapple, Blueberries-Strawberries-Cherries, Blueberries-Pineapple, and Strawberries-Mango.

Later this year, Snack it Forward will also introduce new Sunkist trueFruit Clusters, featuring a blend of three premium fruits with no added sugars. Each bag of these crunchy, bite-sized clusters contain five servings of daily fruit needs. The new cluster flavors include: Blueberry Crunch, Pineapple Crunch, Mango Crunch, and Strawberry Crunch.

All Sunkist fruit-based snacks are made with clean and simple ingredients and contain no artificial flavors or colors, according to Snack it Forward. The Sunkist lines are available in the produce section at grocers nationwide and online at www.sunkistsnacks.com. The new family of products will be showcased at PMA Fresh Summit, booth # 4354.

Sunkist Fruit Chips Medley, Sunkist Fruit Lover’s Trail Mix and Sunkist trueFruit Clusters have a suggested retail price of $3.99, and the single-serve multipacks have a suggested retail price of $6.99.
