Wegmans Josh Allen MVP Puffs have been created by the grocery store chain in partnership with the Buffalo Bills to offer fans a special product to pick up that will support children and communities in Buffalo, New York.
The cereal itself consists of sweetened puffed wheat pieces that are shaped like footballs to give every bite a fun profile when enjoyed with milk or as a snack. The cereal will have a portion of proceeds given to the Oishei Children's Hospital with $1 from every box sold in Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, New York's Southern Tier and Erie, Pennsylvania donated while supplies last.
Wegmans Josh Allen MVP Puffs help to set themselves apart from the other options on store shelves with the team's colors alongside Allen's profile.
