Weetos’ new limited-edition taps into choc orange trend

Weetos, the chocolatey member of the Weetabix Food Company portfolio, has launched a new limited-edition flavour in its range: Weetos Orange Chocolatey Hoops.

Available now across convenience, the new Weetos Orange Chocolatey Hoops cereal, which comes in 420g packs (RSP: £3.29), fills a big opportunity by bringing this on-trend flavour - popular in many other categories - to the cereal aisle.

Weetos Orange Chocolatey Hoops is HFSS compliant with no red traffic lights, while it also boasts strong nutritional scores, as it is high in fibre. Already a family favourite, the new flavour represents a brilliant opportunity to encourage sales of Weetos all year round and bring new shoppers to the brand.

“Choc orange flavours are everywhere you look except in tasty cereals, so we’re excited to be bringing this on-trend taste to the category. We’ve taste-tested Weetos Orange Chocolatey Hoops among our target audience, so they’re loved by kids and, since they’re HFSS-compliant, they’ll be approved by adults too,” Alastair Porter, marketing controller at Weetabix Food Company, commented.

“Weetos is one of the top 10 brands in the growing tasty category and we know it’s a brand that performs especially strongly in the impulse channel. With convenience stores increasingly becoming hubs for innovative, new products, we’re confident that Weetos Orange Chocolatey Hoops will stand-out on shelf and find its way into baskets across the country.”

Currently valued at £1.1m within the convenience channel, Weetos is the number two chocolate cereal in the impulse sector.
