Rowntree is expanding its popular ice lolly range with the debut of a sweet new Mango Ice Lolly option.
Set to hit Asda and Morrisons stores starting this January, and available for wider release in March of 2025, the new Mango Ice Loll is a tasty option for kids and adults alike. The topical-tasting popsicle is made from a flavorful blend of real mango and passionfruit juices and molded into the shape of a realistic-looking mango. The popsicle contains no artificial colours, flavors, or preservatives, and is HFSS-compliant. As Will Yates, Rowntree's Brand Manager, explains, "We're excited to be adding mango to the Rowntree's range, it brings a tropical new taste to the range and we're sure consumers of all ages are going to love it. As the nation's favourite ice lolly brand, we can't wait for consumers to enjoy even more feel-good snacking with our latest ice lolly."
