Sargento Foods has expanded its cheese snack portfolio with the launch of a new ‘Fun! Balanced Breaks’ line, as well as two new string cheese products. Following the success of the brand’s Balanced Breaks portfolio – a range of cheese and cracker snack products – the new ‘Fun!’ line offers three varieties, pairing Sargento’s natural cheeses with a sweet medley of cookie favourites from Mondelēz International. The three varieties available include Sargento's mild cheddar cheese with raisins covered in a yogurt-flavoured coating and Mini Chips Ahoy! Cookies; Monterey Jack cheese with mixed fruit snacks and Teddy Grahams’ Graham Snacks in cocoa flavour; and Colby-Jack cheese with mixed fruit snacks and Teddy Grahams’ Graham Snacks in honey flavour.

Sargento's Smokehouse string cheese snacks deliver a rich, hickory flavour, while the Fiesta Pepper variant offers the heat from jalapeño and habanero peppers balanced out with mild and creamy mozzarella. The new products can be found at selected retailers across the US.
