Sargento Foods and Mondelez Develop a New Partnership

The two companies joined forces to combine eight Sargento natural cheese varieties with Ritz, Triscuit and Wheat Thins snack crackers, according to a press release. The Balanced Breaks Cheese & Crackers comes in four combinations, each featuring between seven and nine grams of protein and up to 170 calories per serving, among which Pepper Jack and Colby Jack Natural Cheeses and Ritz Mini Crackers, Gouda and Sharp Cheddar Natural Cheeses and Triscuit Mini Original Crackers, Monterey Jack and Mild Cheddar Natural Cheeses and Wheat Thins Mini Original Snacks.

The products are available in packages of three single-serve, 1.5-ounce snack trays.

In addition to being available online and in the refrigerated section at retailers across the US nationwide, the products will be available through convenience store distributors, said Steve Strubbe, senior marketing manager of strategic channels at Sargento Foods, quoted by Vending Times.
