The French's 'Frenchsicle' ice pop is a limited-edition frozen treat created in partnership with Happy Pops to offer consumers with an unexpected way to beat the heat. The ice pop features the flavor of French's ketchup achieved with 100% Canadian tomatoes for a sweet, savory experience thanks to a touch of salt in the recipe. The all-natural ice pops are made only with real fruit and are sweetened with organic cane sugar.
The French's 'Frenchsicle' ice pop is arriving at a series of pop-up locations in Vancouver, Toronto and Leamington starting June 22. The ice pop is launching alongside an initiative to fight food insecurity with two meals being donated to Food Banks Canada for every 'Frenchsicle' the brand gives away.
