The CVS Well Market snacks range made its debut at participating locations last year and is now being expanded by the brand in response to increasing consumer calls for free-from products with a price-conscious profile.
The product range now includes the Cinnamon Apple Flavored Snack Straws, Watermelon Replenish Drink Mix, Freeze Dried Raspberry-Infused Apples and the Everything Bagel Seasoned Gluten-Free Pretzel Twists. The snacks cater to consumers with preferences for gluten-free, vegan and/or Keto-friendly foods, while their competitive price point is meant to democratize access for all shoppers.
The new additions to the CVS Well Market snacks range come as part of the recent surge in private label offerings as consumers seek to enjoy their favorite foods in a way that better suits their budget.
