Tapping into evening snacking occasions, Pladis has launched Jacob’s Mini Cheddars Sticks, the brand’s biggest launch to date.

Available from February to convenience retailers, the range comes in Rich & Tangy Cheddar and Grilled Cheddar & Sizzling Steak varieties in 150g sharing formats, RRP £1.99.

The launch will be supported by a TV campaign and digital activations from March 2021, and packs will be recyclable through Pladis’ partnership with Terracycle.

Christopher Owen, marketing controller at Pladis UK&I, said: “We know over a third of UK households buy Jacob’s Mini Cheddars, but we’ve spotted an opportunity to attract more people into the brand with a new concept.”
