As the new school year approaches, BEAR, the leading Kids’ Fruit Snacking brand, is set to help retailers large and small boost sales with its delicious range of healthy, real fruit snacks, that are perfect for lunchboxes.
With the Back to School season being a crucial sales period for the category – with sales growing +6.1 per cent last year – BEAR offers an excellent growth opportunity, by catering to parents seeking nutritious and delicious snacks for their cubs. This is because BEAR is the brand leading the Kids' Fruit Snacking category, holding a 39.1 per cent market share.

"Our products are made with real fruit, are 100% natural, contain no added sugar, and provide 1 of your 5 a day. We know that parents want the best for their little ones, and BEAR delivers both in taste and nutrition.
“What also makes BEAR, specifically BEAR yoyos, the ideal lunchbox snack is that the multipacks contain five individually wrapped yoyo pairs, which are perfect for the school week.
