Hartley’s Jelly Sours Come in Three Flavors for Older Kids

The Hartley’s Jelly Sours have been unveiled by the brand in the UK as a new range of products targeted towards filling a gap within its existing lineup of jellies. The products come in three flavors including Cherry, Strawberry and Apple, and feature a decidedly sour flavor profile that is achieved with real fruit juice. Targeted towards grown-up kids, the jellies contain less than 100-calories and are HFSS-compliant.

Hain Daniels' International Marketing & NPD Director Ruth Snowdon Gough commented on the new Hartley’s Jelly Sours rang saying, "Our new Hartley’s Jelly Sours range has been developed to bring something new and exciting to the category. We know our current range of flavours is much-loved by younger children, but we wanted to create a range that enables the brand to appeal to a wider audience. We know older children are looking for more complex flavours that have ‘playground appeal’ and Sours does exactly that."
