This press release describes a consumer candy product — SOUR PATCH KIDS BESTIES — from Mondelez International, a confectionery company headquartered in East Hanover, N.J. The product is a novelty candy format in which four gummy candies are linked together. It carries no relevance to commercial kitchen equipment, refrigeration, warewashing, ventilation, prep, ice, or any other capital goods category covered by FSENews.com.
FSENews covers equipment that operators, dealers, manufacturer reps, and consultants specify, purchase, and service in commercial foodservice environments. That includes cooking equipment, blast chillers, rack conveyors, ventless combis, and related energy-and-sustainability advances — not retail confectionery formats.
Readers seeking broader food and beverage industry news, including CPG product launches and consumer snacking trends, may find coverage at Food & Beverage Magazine, FSENews's sister publication. For operators sourcing candy dispensing or prep-and-storage solutions relevant to snack programs, FSENews will continue to cover applicable equipment categories.
This release has been reviewed and determined to fall outside the editorial scope of FSENews.com. No article will be published.
