Otis Spunkmeyer, Los Angeles, today announced its new retail line of 20 conveniently prepackaged sweet snacks that proudly tout “No Funky Stuff,” a promise of better ingredients in its foods. The new consumer-focused retail line features snack cakes, loaf cakes, mini muffins, mini cupcakes and cookies in a variety of classic flavors.
“Otis Spunkmeyer cookies have been a consumer favorite for 35 years, but until recently have only been offered through our food service business,” says Kristina Dermody, president of Otis Spunkmeyer. “We are thrilled to now expand our offerings to grocery chains, and also increase our line to include an array of 20 new treats, so people can indulge in our favorite snacks whenever they want!”
With this new line of sweet treats, the brand has committed to “better-for-you” ingredients that have a home-made taste. All products are made without artificial flavors or colors, high fructose corn syrup or partially hydrogenated oils. Additionally, all snacks are individually wrapped, making them the perfect on-the-go snack option for consumers.
“We respect that shoppers are savvier than ever, which is why we worked to develop a food line that is truly different among the competitive sector and provides a more transparent approach to baked goods,” says Jonathan Davis, senior vice president of innovation at ARYZTA North America, owner of the Otis Spunkmeyer brand. “Our commitment to ‘No Funky Stuff’ ensures that the Otis Spunkmeyer line of sweets is delivering a superior tasting treat that people love and want to indulge in.”
