Pladis is looking to build on the success of its Jacob’s Mini Cheddars range by adding two exciting new limited-edition flavors.
Rolling out in grocery stores this April, the latest additions to Jacob’s Mini Cheddars range are inspired by on-trend, Mexican-inspired flavor profiles. The first of the new flavors is Mini Cheddars Chipotle & Lime, which pairs smoky heat with a sharp citrus zing. The other new flavor is Mini Cheddars Nacho Cheese, which has a creamy cheese flavor and a subtle heat. Interestingly, both of the new Mini Cheddars flavors come in two package formats – 150-gram sharing bags and 90-gram price-marked packs – which helps to maximize the brand's reach across different snacking segments.
