Mentos
Perfetti Van Melle-owned Mentos has launched new pouch bags as part of a tie-up with Fanta.
The two new vegan-friendly products – Mentos Fanta Pouch Bag and Mentos Fruit Mix Pouch Bag – have been designed to bolster the sweet brand’s presence in the confectionery aisle.
The latest innovation follows a twice-extended production run where The Product of the Year award-winning Mentos Fanta has struck popularity among consumers since its launch in 2022.
The new products also build upon the success of the confectionery brand’s recent release – 14 flavour Mentos Discovery.

Non-HFSS Cadbury Brunch
Cadbury has unveiled its latest addition to its range, a duo of non-HFSS (high in fat, salt and sugar) Cadbury Brunch Light bars.
The new bars come in flavours Honey and Oat, and Orange and will contain fewer than 100 calories per serving.
The launch builds upon the success of other products in its grocery range, including Cadbury Brunch Oats, which the food brand has named its most popular snack in the Cadbury biscuit range.
“We know that shoppers are on the hunt for lower calorie cereal bar that still taste great, so the delicious new Cadbury Brunch Light bars are certainly set to be a hit in-store. Cadbury Brunch has always carried healthier snacking cues so this latest launch will help retailers unlock more of these health-conscious sales.”
Wall’s Quiche
Sausage roll brand Wall’s has debuted two fresh quiche products as it aims to attract new consumers.
The Cheese & Bacon and Cheese & Onion varieties will be available for RRP £2 across convenience channels, as its brand manager says the innovation is designed to tap into demand for small quiche sizes.
The Compleat Food Group-owned Wall’s Pastry brand director Jason Manley said: “As the nation’s favourite sausage roll brand, we are always looking at how we can use our expertise in pastry and trusted status to deliver exceptional food that adds value in the areas that need it most.
“When we found that there was a demand for smaller quiche sizes, as well as a lack of any strong brand dominance within this space, we knew we had an opportunity to add something fresh to the category. Our delicious new quiches will give shoppers the confidence that what they’re picking up not only tastes great, but also won’t go to waste.
“This is just the start of an exciting year for Wall’s, with more launches in the pipeline that will satisfy more occasions and offer people even more ways to enjoy traditional pastry classics in a format that suits them.”
