"We're re-imagining the snack aisle, proving that better snacking doesn't require a compromise on taste or texture," says Carolina Cespedes Virguez, General Manager of GoGo squeeZ® at Bel US. "By providing on-the-go and beyond-the-fridge convenience and simple ingredients that many traditional protein snacks do not provide, with real fruit and no added sugar, this is a snack that keeps pace with the next generation's lifestyle – with all the real nutrients and none of the trade-offs."
Peter McGuinness, CEO of Bel North America, adds: "I'm excited by the rapid progress of our innovation, providing better snacking and meeting people where they are at. Between GOGO® Dairy Protein, GOGO® Fruit Smoothie Protein, GOGO® PB&J Stack'd Bites, GoGo squeeZ® SlymeZ, Babybel® Pro, and Brainiac®'s acquisition, we're building a purpose-driven snacking portfolio and creating categories that didn't exist before. Every move we've made is intentional, and we think consumers are going to love where we're taking them."
With protein ranking as the No. 1 desired functional benefit for Gen Z, GOGO's innovations make it easy for Gen Z (and anyone with an active lifestyle) to hit their protein goals, whether that's pre-game, post-practice or for a satisfying midday snack.
