The U.K.-based biscuit brand McVitie’s is expanding its iconic Jammy’s range by adding two juicy new fruit flavors: Raspberry and Apple.
Tapping into the growing demand for fruit-forward snack options, the newest additions to McVitie’s Jammy’s range offer a sweet and fruity biscuit option. The new Jammy’s Raspberry Flavour consists of a light, crumbly biscuit stuffed with a bright and tangy raspberry filling. On the other hand, the new Jammy’s Apple Flavour features the same icing sugar-dusted biscuit, but with a crisp and tart apple filling. As Bethan Ashman, Brand Manager at Pladis UK&I, says of the new offerings, "We’re excited to introduce Jammy’s Raspberry and Apple flavour to our growing biscuit range. These biscuits are a fun, flavour-packed option, perfect for lunchboxes, sharing or on-the-go snacking.”
The new Jammy’s Raspberry Flavour will roll out first, and then both flavors will be available from major retailers in the U.K. as of June 6th.
