We’ve taste-tested Weetos Orange Chocolatey Hoops among our target audience, so they’re loved by kids and, since they’re HFSS-compliant, they’ll be approved by adults too,” Alastair Porter, marketing controller at Weetabix Food Company, commented.
“Weetos is one of the top 10 brands in the growing tasty category and we know it’s a brand that performs especially strongly in the impulse channel. With convenience stores increasingly becoming hubs for innovative, new products, we’re confident that Weetos Orange Chocolatey Hoops will stand-out on shelf and find its way into baskets across the country.”
