Produced under license with supplier D2 International, the range includes four new products: Lemon Apple Sticks (20g), Strawberry Apple Sticks (20g), Spiced Apple Crisps (20g, Christmas edition), and Naked Apple Crisps (20g).

According to Del Monte, the UK’s leading canned fruit brand, all the snacks are made from 100 per cent natural ingredients and contain under 73 calories per 20g pack.

Shoppers can find the limited-edition Spiced Apple Crisps at self-checkouts in 200 Tesco stores. These will be replaced by the Naked Apple Crisps after the festive season. The Lemon and Strawberry Apple Sticks will be available at self-checkout in 233 Morrisons stores.

The recommended selling price is £1 for the crisps and £1.19 for the sticks.

“With flavours that appeal to all ages, we’re confident they will resonate with health-conscious consumers looking for delicious options.”
