Haribo has added new reduced-sugar fruit gums – called Fruitilicious – to its range of sweets.
Fruitilicious is available now in a range of pack sizes including 165g, 120g and a 155g £1 priced-marked pack.
Kick starting Haribo’s product plans for 2018, Fruitilicious is supported by a comprehensive marketing campaign including PR, product sampling and a new TV advert.
It offers 30% less sugar than regular fruit gums, and features fruit-shaped, smiley-faced pieces in strawberry, raspberry, pineapple, orange, apple and lemon flavours.
Within the category’s top 25 selling hanging bags, Fruitilicious currently delivers the lowest sugar content per 100g. In recent blind taste tests, Haribo said 98% of consumers “loved” or “liked” this latest edition.
Hayley Nixon, Haribo’s Marketing Manager, said: “For almost 100 years Haribo has been producing treats and offers an extensive range. In fact, we have the most diverse offering on the market with sharing formats, mini bags and pre-portioned multipacks all helping our consumers to make the choice that is right for them, their friends and family, whatever the occasion.
“Through Fruitilicious we are taking this one step further by adding a sugar reduced product to our range, one that does not compromise on taste or texture – it is exactly what you would expect from Haribo!”
