PepsiCo's Frito-Lay business unit, the snack chip leader, is focusing its snack expertise and passion for innovation to break new ground in the nut aisle with TrueNorth, a contemporary line of 100 percent natural, great tasting nut snacks that have 5g of protein in every 1 oz serving.
By elevating the "simple nut"into three unique nut snacks -- nut clusters, nut crisps and nut crunches -- each TrueNorth variety offers consumers a different snacking experience fit for a wide range of occasions.
"While consumer demand for the nut category continues to be positive, the options have been limited and uninspiring,"said Regan Ebert, Vice President, General Manager, Frito-Lay North America. "TrueNorth creates nut snacking options that range from reinventing the traditional to new twists that feature nuts as a crisp, which is reminiscent of a cracker."
TrueNorth nut snacks began rolling out in the first quarter of 2008 in three different snacking varieties for $3.29 per bag, and will be available nationwide (in the US) by the second quarter of 2008. Bags vary in size and price depending on the product.
