Reimagining snack kits, the cheese maven debuts protein-focused options built around convenience and quality...
Sargento is shaking up the lunch snack kit aisle with the launch of Sargento Mighty Bites™ lunch snack kits, a new line of tasty snack kits made with 100% natural meats and cheeses. The third-generation, family-owned company known for crafting real, natural cheeses is asking parents to "Make the Switch" from traditional lunch snack kits to an option that delivers what today's families want: quality ingredients, a good source of protein, and convenient combinations kids will actually look forward to eating.
Make the Switch"
For years, snack kits have been a go-to for lunchboxes and on-the-go snacking, but today's families expect more from the foods they eat every day. Research shows 9 in 10 parents are actively seeking simple meal prep ideas, underscoring the demand for convenient options that don't compromise on quality.²
"At Sargento, we're always looking for ways to bring real food and meaningful innovation to the categories families rely on," said Erin Price, Sargento General Manager of Consumer Products, in the recent release. "Sargento Mighty Bites™ lunch snack kits raise the bar by combining 100% natural meats and cheeses with fun pairings everyone will love and up to 14 grams of protein per kit."
