HORSHAM, Pa., Oct. 29, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Arnold®, Brownberry® and Oroweat® Organic Breads, makers of nutritious and delicious USDA Organic and plant-based breads, are proud to announce the launch of their new Kids Organic White made with Whole Wheat Bread featuring Disney's Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse. Together with Disney, Arnold, Brownberry and Oroweat Organic Breads are bringing these classic family favorites to shelves at major grocery stores and food retailers nationwide to introduce the only nationally-available organic bread for kids.

"The focus of this launch is bringing parents and children a nutritious bread with great taste and texture," said Jessica Grane, Marketing Director of Premium Brands at Bimbo Bakeries USA. "In teaming up with Disney, we have found a partner that aligns with our vision of delivering delicious and balanced nutrition, and we are proud to provide families with a bread that fits their wholesome lifestyles."

Developed for picky eaters to love and parents to feel good about, this USDA Organic, Non-GMO Project Verified, and plant-based bread is a good source of Vitamins A, D & E and is baked with organic whole grains as the first ingredient. With a taste that is just as delicious as it is nutritious, each slice has a soft and smooth texture that kids will love. Freshly baked using renewable wind energy, the brand's new kid-friendly bread brings consumers a great taste that's sustainably baked.

Alongside the launch of their new organic kids bread, Arnold, Brownberry and Oroweat Organic Breads are also proud to announce their collaboration with Big Green, a Colorado-based nonprofit committed to building a healthier future for kids by connecting them to real food through a nationwide network of outdoor learning gardens and food literacy programs.

Big Green at Home is an online hub providing children, families and teachers with the resources they need to keep their minds and bodies engaged and active this school year.
