Welch’s, a brand under PIM Brands Inc., has launched two new flavor profiles for its existing Welch's® Fusions™ fruit snack line. These additions are Citrus Surge and Tropical Tornado.
The Citrus Surge and Tropical Tornado flavor offerings continue the Welch's® Fusions™ fruit snack line's core concept of combining two distinct tastes within each piece — one flavor in the exterior chew and a different one in the interior gel center. The Citrus Surge variety includes combinations like Pink Grapefruit & Tangerine, Lime & Tart Cherry, and Yuzu Lemon & Strawberry. The Tropical Tornado, on the other hand, boasts Dragon Fruit & Mango, Kiwi & Strawberry, and Pineapple & Passionfruit.
Concurrently, the company also announced a multi-year promotional partnership with live music events. The first activation will be at Governors Ball, where the brand will offer immersive experiences for attendees.
