“As well as our flagship healthier snacking brand, Velvet Crunch, we offer a number of other snacks with 100 calories or less per pack, including new Hula Hoops Puft, Pom-Bear, Skips and Space Raiders,” he said.
“We are working to reduce saturated fat and sodium, as well as removing artificial sweeteners, colourings and flavourings.”
