ELMHURST, Ill. -- Kellogg's Convenience Team has introduced new packaging for Cheez-It Snack Mixes to more accurately reflect the product inside, the company said.
With taste being the No. 1 reason consumers choose a snack food, according to NPD's "Eating Patterns in America," Kellogg's said that it hopes that the new flavor callouts and imagery will appeal to shoppers by helping them better identify the product and snack flavors.
All five flavors come six pouches per case and feature a peg hole for easy hanging.
