Buddy Fruits launches fruit gel pouch

CORAL GABLES, Fla. — Buddy Fruits has launched what it calls the first 100% fruit gel pouch to hit the market.

Buddy Fruits said its new Jiggle Gel pouch further demonstrates the company's originality in developing products that are portable, healthy and fun to eat. Available in raspberry, strawberry and orange flavors, the vegan, dairy-free and gluten-free fruit gel is only made with fruit and fruit pectin, and touts 70 calories per pouch.

"We've had this product in the works for quite some time, and decided that the back-to-school season would be ideal for its release," Buddy Fruits cofunder Fabian Milon said. "Jiggle Gel is advancing traditional gel products, which typically require a bowl and a spoon, all the while making it fun again. Kids will really enjoy this product as it maintains the exciting, jiggly consistency that is often associated with gel snacks. Parents will love it, because it is 100% fruit."

Buddy Fruits can be found in more than 28,000 retailers across the United States.
