The Fridge Raiders Meat-Free Tasty Bites are a new product line from the UK-based brand that offers consumers a plant-based take on the namesake snack. The product is crafted with fava beans to give them a plant-based recipe that's still high in protein, and comes in two varieties including Slow-Roasted and Katsu. The snack comes in 65-gram and 45-gram bags, which both feature easily identifiable branding and text to help shoppers pinpoint them on store shelves.
Marketing Manager Chris Doe commented on the new Fridge Raiders Meat-Free Tasty Bites saying, "The growth of the meat-free category is not slowing down, so we are excited to offer our customers a delicious meat-free snacking option in a category that we know currently under-delivers on taste. We know consumers are on the hunt for a meat-free snack that delivers on taste, texture and quality while also being a healthy and fulfilling option.”
