McKee Foods Launches Little Debbie Zebra Mini Donuts

McKee Foods Corp. has announced that it will be expanding its Zebra label into the donut category with the launch of Little Debbie Zebra Mini Donuts.

The mini donuts are made from yellow cake and covered in a vanilla frosting that is finished with a striped fudge pattern. Appropriately, the treats have a Zebra-like pattern, aligning with the brand's name and image. As of right now, the donuts will only be available in a grab-and-go resealable format

"When you go into a donut shop in your neighborhood, you expect to see a wide variety of choices," said Hannah Stoker, the McKee food scientist who helped create the new product. "Some of the ones that always stand out are the donuts with stripes. The Little Debbie brand knows a thing or two about stripes, so it only made sense to develop Zebra Mini Donuts."
