“On-the-go snacking continues to be a top consumption trend in the US,” Bel said.

The company cited 2014 data from Mintel, which it said showed 73% of Americans are snacking away from home. Bel noted the figure rose to 85% for millennial consumers.

Two lines are being launched – one with “classic” breadsticks and the other with tomato and herb breadsticks. Single-serve packs have a suggested price of US$1.49. Five-pack boxes have a recommended price of US$4.99.

Earlier this month, Bel reported an increase in sales in 2015. The company does not disclose sales by individual market but said sales rose in the Americas overall.
