Fox’s Glacier Moments candies have been given an overhaul by Valeo Snackfoods in the UK to make the products HFSS-compliant ahead of the legislative change.
The candies are now sugar-free with a stevia-sweetened recipe that's also vegan-friendly and just eight-calories per serving. The candies come in two flavors including Strawberry and Banana Smoothie, and Lemon, Mint and Elderflower, which will both arrive into more than 2,500 Co-op starting on August 15 for £1.20 each. The packaging is also fully recyclable.
Marketing Director at Valeo Snackfoods Russel Tanner commented on the changes to the Fox’s Glacier Moments candies saying, "These new sugar free variants are a natural next step for Fox’s, which have longstanding heritage as a household favourite."
