David Beckham has unveiled his latest venture: BEEUP, a new-generation snack brand co-founded with serial entrepreneur Shaun Neff, known for successful brands like SUN BUM, Moon Oral Care, and BÉIS.
Rooted in Beckham’s personal passion for beekeeping, BEEUP puts honey at the heart of its products. The brand launches with a line of fruit snacks made with real honey and bold flavor, available starting June 16 at Target and BEEUPsnacks.com in three mouthwatering varieties: Very Berry, Tropical Mix, and Sour Watermelon.
Driven by a desire to fuel families with cleaner, more wholesome snack options, BEEUP’s fruit snacks are non-GMO, made without synthetic dyes or artificial flavors, and are packed with vitamins A, C, and E. Designed for busy days and active lifestyles, they offer a better-for-you treat that doesn’t sacrifice taste.
