The snacks are focused on a [free-from recipe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/simply-snacks) that has no preservatives, artificial colorants, vegetable fats or palm oil in the mix, and come packaged in ISCC-certified material that's 50% bio-based. The snacks come in four flavor varieties including Banana-Flavored Curd, Ice Cream-Flavored Curd, Chocolate Curd with Chocolate Chips and Vanilla-Flavored Curd with Pieces of Chocolate. [Food Union](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ekselence-ice-cream) CEO Normunds Stanevics commented on the new Premia Väike Tom snacks saying, “In Estonia, as in Latvia, the culture of consuming high-quality and fresh dairy products is widespread, and curd snacks are an established category. We have cemented leadership in the curd snack category with Kārums in Latvia; but now, the new Väike Tom products in Estonia arrive bringing together a unique combination of fresh recipes, excellent taste combinations and sustainable packaging.” ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.5/10 - Popularity: 49% | Activity: 46% | Freshness: 10% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Marketing](https://www.trendhunter.com/marketing) > [Branding](https://www.trendhunter.com/branding) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Free-from Food:** There is an opportunity to create more free-from snacks with sustainable packaging to meet growing demand for healthier and environmentally friendly food options. - **Expansion of Product Portfolio:** Companies in the food industry can adapt to their customer needs and expand their product portfolio with new offerings and flavors. - **Sustainable Packaging:** Food companies can continue to invest in sustainable packaging by utilizing ISCC-certified materials and increasing the use of bio-based materials. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Dairy:** Dairy companies can innovate by introducing new products to the market such as free-from and sustainably packaged snacks. - **Snacks:** Snack companies can cater to a wider audience by offering free-from and sustainable snacks with unique flavors and packaging. - **Sustainable Packaging:** The sustainable packaging industry can continue to provide innovative and sustainable solutions for food companies looking to reduce their environmental impact. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Dairy-Driven Snack Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smug-dairy.md) - [Cheese-Based Fruit Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kiri-petit-sweets.md) - [Decadent Yogurt Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/decadent-yogurt-snacks.md) - [Fruit-Forward Cottage Cheese Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/all-things-dairy-cottage-cheese.md) - [Cornwall-Inspired Dairy Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trewithen-dairy-products.md) - [Squeezable High-Protein Cheeses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/primula-cheese-products.md) - [Free-From Kid-Friendly Yogurts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/onken-kiddos.md) - [Flavorful Nutrient-Dense Snack Ranges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whitworths-snacks.md) - [Free-From Toddler Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/organic-kids-snacks.md)
