Ahold Delhaize USA announced the launch of a new just-for-kids private brand product line. The new line, Nature’s Promise Kids, is an extension of the current Nature’s Promise free from line, which includes many organic options. Food Lion, Giant Food, Giant/Martin’s, Hannaford, Peapod and Stop & Shop have all elected to stock the kid-friendly product line for their customers, with items hitting stores between now and the end of the year. Assortment of products and in-store timing will vary by retail brand.
The first two items available in the line are Nature’s Promise Kids Squeezable Fruit Pouches and Nature’s Promise Kids Sparkling Seltzer Water. Other products in the line are expected to be introduced over the next few months.
“Families should be able to provide their children with products they feel confident in,” said Juan De Paoli, senior vice president of private brands for Retail Business Services. “No one believes this more than the local grocery retail brands we support that have elected to carry this new line. In fact, Nature’s Promise Kids is a result of conversations with our grocery retail partners about what they are hearing from their customers. Nature’s Promise Kids is an answer to the demand from today’s families for products free from unwanted ingredients at an unsurpassed value.”
The Nature’s Promise Kids line, ideal for children ages four and up, features products that are nutritionally equivalent or better than similar traditional products. Delivering on the landmark commitment Retail Business Services made last year to remove all synthetic colors, artificial flavors, artificial preservatives, sweeteners, MSG and high fructose corn syrup from all private brands products by 2025, the Nature’s Promise Kids products do not include any of these items.
Nature’s Promise Kids Squeezable Fruit is gluten-free and BPA-free and comes in flavors such as apple cinnamon, apple strawberry, apple berry banana, apple mango, and apple mango banana. Each kid-size, 3.2-ounce pouch is 50 calories, made with real fruit, and does not contain sugar, synthetic color or artificial flavors.
Nature's Promise is a line of food products with a complete range of affordable, wholesome products across the store. All edible, plant-based products contain only non-GMO ingredients, and many items are certified organic.
