Pinnacle Foods boosts Farmer's Garden by Vlasic line of pickles

PARSIPPANY, N.J. — Pinnacle Foods has extended a line under its Vlasic pickle brand.

The extended line will include deli style halves, bread and butter chips, zesty garlic chips, kosher dill halves and kosher dill spears.

"You can see the authentic goodness packed inside every jar — fresh cucumbers and whole garlic, crunchy carrots and peppers, and natural herbs and spices that deliver a crunchy, flavorful and homemade-quality pickle," Pinnacle Foods SVP marketing Andy Reichgu said. "We are confident consumers will absolutely love Farmer's Garden by Vlasic pickles, and will find them to be the perfect ingredient to make their sandwich or meal extra special. They are also delicious as a snack straight out of the jar."

Farmer's Garden by Vlasicpickles are available in 26-oz. jars with a suggested retail price of $3.99.
