Bolthouse Fresh Foods introduced its Carrot Shakers with bold seasonings like Zesty Ranch and Dill Pickle, and now, Tajín Carrot Shakers join the lineup to offer a fresh take on a healthy snack with an in-demand flavor. "This is something we’ve wanted to do for years, and the timing is perfect with recent trends showing consumers are looking for healthier snack options with bold flavor," shared Eric Patrick, Tajín Fresh Produce Alliances, in a recent release.
Within a pack of Bolthouse Fresh Carrot Shakers, baby carrots are paired with Tajín Clásico Seasoning Reduced Sodium, which can be added straight to the bag to create chile-lime-coated bites. Tajín Carrot Shakers are coming to both retail and foodservice channels, including K-12 schools, to make it easier and more enticing for all ages to eat their vegetables.
