Introducing Welch's Fruit 'n Yogurt Snacks

18/09/07 The Promotion In Motion Companies, Inc., with its long tradition of providing great tasting, nutritious and innovative products, is introducing Welch's Fruit 'n Yogurt Snacks, the first fruit snacks made with real fruit, real yogurt and live and active probiotic cultures. They are shelf stable, require no refrigeration and are so unique they are the subject of two patents pending at the U.S. Patent Office!

The introduction of Welch's Fruit 'n Yogurt Snacks is timed just right. Demand for taste, nutrition, and convenience is growing given increasingly busy schedules. Today's consumers want convenience and good-for-you benefits for their families without having to compromise on great taste. Welch's Fruit 'n Yogurt Snacks meet this demand because they are loaded with real fruit and drenched in rich and creamy yogurt. They contain 100% DV of vitamin C, and are an excellent source of vitamin A (25% DV). They are an excellent source of vitamin D (25% DV) and contain calcium (10% DV) to help maintain strong bones. PLUS, Welch's Fruit 'n Yogurt Snacks also contain live and active cultures which aid digestive health, just like fresh yogurt.

"This is a huge opportunity to further enhance the value of the Welch's Fruit Snack line to consumers," according to company President and CEO Michael G. Rosenberg. Live and active probiotic bacterial cultures now rank among the "top five foods that people say they want to add to their diets,"along with whole grains, dietary fiber, antioxidants, and omega-3 fatty acids.

Welch's Fruit 'n Yogurt Snacks are also only 90 calories per portion controlled pouch, and come in five delicious flavors: strawberry, blueberry, cherry, raspberry, and peach. They are available in a variety of sizes including: 4.8 oz. box packs with 6 inner .8 oz. pouches, 12 oz. box packs with 15 inner .8 oz. pouches, as well as 1.9 oz. bag packs.

In addition to the new Welch's Fruit 'n Yogurt Snacks, the company also produces the original Welch's Fruit Snacks, which are available in seven great flavors, as well as Welch's Reduced Sugar Fruit Snacks which contain 35% less sugar than the original Welch's Fruit Snacks. All Welch's Fruit Snacks and Welch's Fruit 'n Yogurt Snack varieties are delicious, ideal and sensible choices for almost any snack-time occasion, for every member of the family!
