Ithaca Hummus has expanded its range of hummus products with the launch of squeezable hummus pouches. Ithaca Squeeze is available in three flavours: plain, beet and red pepper. The 3oz pouches contain 5g of fibre and 7-8g of plant-based protein. Made with sunflower butter in place of traditional sesame, these snacks are free from the top nine allergens. Chris Kirby, founder and CEO of Ithaca Hummus, said: "As a parent myself, I know the challenge of providing kids with nutritious foods they'll actually want to eat. We found that one in four parents are concerned their kids aren't getting enough protein, so we took this notion head-on when creating Ithaca Squeeze, while also prioritizing the bold, delicious flavour Ithaca is known for." Ithaca Squeeze is available at select retailers, including Whole Foods, Fresh Direct, Big Y, Hungryroot, Price Chopper, Albert's Organics and UNFI Fresh, for $2.99 per pouch.
