These new Garden Veggie Snacks products are headed to the US market as part of the brand's commitment to clean label food items that respond to consumer demand. The products include reformulated favorites including Veggie Straws and Veggie Puffs, which are all now made with avocado oil and boast updated flavor profiles.
The Veggie Straws will now boast a fourth straw in the mix made with sweet potato, and come in three flavors including Sea Salt, Ranch and Screamin' Hot. The Veggie Puffs will come in the classic Mac n' Cheese flavor made with real cheese and Barbecue.
Senior Director of Brand Building and Activation Julian Nathan spoke on the new Garden Veggie Snacks products saying, "As families look more closely at the snacks they consume every day while seeking better-for-you options without sacrificing taste, crunch, or craveability, our Garden Veggie Snacks team continues to prioritize transparency and ingredient innovation. Our portfolio reinvention introduces high-quality credentials like made with avocado oil, real cheese, and a fourth straw, delivering the quality families want while keeping the fun, satisfying, flavor-forward experience that makes us a snack staple both kids and adults love.”
