The BEAR Fruit Bites range is a new line of fruit snacks from the brand crafted with growing kids in mind to offer them a delicious yet playful snack option to enjoy throughout the day or in their lunchbox.
The fruit snacks come in two flavor options including Tropical and Berry, which are each crafted with real fruit and formed into gem-like hexagonal shapes imprinted with fruit shapes. The treats are arriving in the UK and are crafted with a 100% fruit recipe that's high in fiber and will count towards a child's daily intake of fruits and vegetables.
Marketing Director at Lotus Bakeries, Natural Foods UK Jo Agnew spoke on the BEAR Fruit Bites range saying, "The launch of our new BEAR Fruit Bites will mean that families have access to a range of fruit snacking products to suit all ages, and we know that kids will love them. It’s a win for families and retailers alike, keeping little paws reaching for BEAR as they grow.”
