Food Union, an international ice cream producer and distributor, has launched its 2024 high season novelties. A total of 55 new ice cream products have been developed across six European markets.
The products cater to the latest consumer trends, the company says. “Embracing the demand for healthy indulgence, the new offerings include lighter alternatives with low sugar and low fat, while also introducing innovative textures like jelly-like consistency for more convenient on-the-go snacking. Vegan-friendly sorbets provide refreshing options for all, and adult-themed, alcohol-flavoured ice creams cater to sophisticated palates. Exotic fruits and savoury berries continue to captivate, while juicy sauce fillings and twirls add excitement to each bite. Salted caramels and nuts remain popular for their soothing flavours, and classic favourites make a nostalgic return,” Food Union notes.
The products will be seen in six markets – Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania, Denmark, Norway and Romania. They include: Estonia, which offers Premia 40% less sugar ice cream with mango-passion filling on a stick, 50g/100ml and Premia 40% less sugar ice cream with raspberry filling on a stick, 50g/100ml. Meanwhile, in Latvia, new products include Tio Vēsma wafer cup small apple 0.7% 0.12l/0.075kg and Tio Vēsma wafer cup small lemon 0.7% 0.12l/0.075kg.
