Cheesies snacks are making their way to Asda locations in the UK as a way to maximize access to the brand's fridge-free cheese snacks. The launch will see 20-gram grab bags of Cheddar Cheesies featured in Asda starting March 18, 2024 which are priced at £1.50 each and come in at just 122-calories to give them a permissible profile. The snack features only cheese in the recipe, which has been baked until it reaches just the right level of crunchiness.
Big Cheese Max Rees spoke on the arrival of Cheesies snacks at Asda saying, "The arrival of ambient cheese on shelves next to crisps and nuts is still somewhat of a novelty, but it’s revolutionary in that it means customers can enjoy their favourite snack without a risk of it getting warm or sweaty, whilst on-the-go. We’re a nation of serial snackers and cheese nails the brief of being both nutritious and delicious. It’s a traditional comfort food that delivers on taste and on all-important protein, calcium and vitamin content, whilst also being carb free and low on calories."
