Ferrero gains award recognition at Sweets and Snacks Expo

Global confectionery group Ferrero claimed a new product accolade for its new Tic Tac X-Freeze mints at the Sweets and Snacks Expo, as part of several key launches at the show in Chicago.

The company’s award-winning  Tic Tac X-Freeze sugar free series is produced with cooling crystals, and are 50 per cent larger than the original brand. They are available as strong mint and wintergreen flavours and available in 65 and 30-piece packs.

In addition, Kinder Bueno made its debut in the U.S. market at Sweets and Snacks Expo, as well as another key release of Ferrero Golden Gallery Signature 12 boxed assortment of premium chocolates available in 12 or 24 pieces.
