pladis, the global snacking company behind iconic brands including McVitie’s, GODIVA, Jacob’s, Carr’s and Ülker, is bringing its popular Jacob’s Crinklys range to even more shoppers as the brand’s flavour-packed ridges will now be readily available in a new non-HFSS recipe.
Jacob’s Crinklys non-HFSS will be available in existing fan-favourite classic flavour combinations – Cheese & Onion and Salt & Vinegar. Replacing the original in multiple retail, the revised recipe for the oven-baked crinkled snack now contains 30 per cent less fat than normal crisps and aims to deliver the same savoury satisfaction the brand has long been known for.
“Jacob’s Crinklys has been enjoyed in wider retail for some time, as shoppers love their full-on flavour and oven-baked crunch,” says Asli Akman, Marketing Director – pladis UK&I. “So, it was about time we took the range’s popularity one step further by bringing Jacob’s Crinklys to supermarket shelves with a new, healthier recipe.
“We’ve also made them especially easy for shoppers to spot with unmissable ‘30% Less Fat’ flashes across our redesigned non-HFSS multipacks, along with ‘Oven-Baked’ flashes on the entire range. By emphasising these points of difference on-pack, we’re confident we will increase appeal for Jacob’s Crinklys across the board and attract savoury snacking shoppers looking for something a little lighter to tuck into.”
pladis is also launching a convenience channel-exclusive PMP format for Jacob’s Crinklys Salt & Vinegar non-HFSS (£1.25). Given the importance of both health and value to many shoppers, this product is set to perform well in convenience and impulse, driving higher volume sales for independent retailers.
Leveraging the popularity of larger snacking formats (+16.1 per cent), Jacob’s Crinklys Cheese & Onion non-HFSS and Jacob’s Crinklys Salt & Vinegar non-HFSS will be available in multipacks of 6 x 23g bags (RRP: £1.35) from mid-July. Both variants are also available in 150g sharing bags.
