Marketing Director at pladis UK&I Asli Akman spoke on the new Jacob’s Cheesy Specials saying, "We know from both our own research and the impressive, continued growth for Jacob’s Mini Cheddars, that cheddar-based flavours are some of the most popular among savoury snacking shoppers. The good news is, cheese is kind of our thing. And when you couple this with the fact Jacob’s Mini Cheddars is a top 10 bagged snacks brand, it’s safe to say we’re confident that we’ve hit the mark with our new extra cheesy range.
