Mars Chocolate North America Introduces goodnessKnows

March 9, 2010

Mars Chocolate North America has introduced goodnessKnows luscious snacksquares in Boulder, Colo., this month.

“This area is world-famous for its emphasis on — and appreciation of — healthy living,” said Suzanne Stites, cocoa flavanol platform leader, Mars Chocolate, North America. “If we can get a stamp of approval from Colorado’s discerning, health-conscious consumers, then consumers everywhere should embrace this new snack!”

goodnessKnows luscious snacksquares get their goodness from slow-roasted whole almonds, tangy fruits and toasted whole grains, and contain no artificial ingredients, colors or flavors. Each serving of goodnessKnows delivers 200 milligrams of bio-available cocoa flavanols, phytonutrients that have been shown to help support healthy circulation, which aids the free flow of nutrients and oxygen throughout the body. 

These naturally nutritious snacks come in three flavors: Very Cranberry, Almonds & Berries, and Roasted Nuts & Grains, all available now exclusively in Boulder, Colo., and expanding to Denver in April. These snacks will be available in the nut and fruit aisle or healthy bar aisle of select grocery stores, with single-serving packets near the checkout counter in some stores.

Each four-square serving has 150 calories and delivers 2-3 grams of fiber, 3 grams of protein, 200 milligrams of cocoa flavanols and only 20-35 milligrams of sodium. goodnessKnows™ luscious snacksquares are available in single servings and multi-packs, and sell for a suggested retail price of $1.59 and $4.99, respectively.

Against a trying backdrop of persistently weak economic conditions, fierce competition and financially wary shoppers, supermarket produce departments faced much harsher headwinds during the past 12- month period than they have in recent years, as evidenced by marginal comparable-sales gains and a tentative outlook for the balance of the year, according to results of Progressive Grocer's 2009 Annual Produce Operations Review.
