New Grab-And-Go Innovation From Duda Farm Fresh Foods

NEW YORK – The new Dandy® Celery Snack Line includes ready-to-snack celery in a variety of sizes that pair celery with either peanut butter from Peanut Butter & Co.® or Ranch-flavored dips.

Dandy Celery + Peanut Butter Packs are available in two sizes. The 2.3oz size contains a 0.7oz squeeze pack of Peanut Butter & Co. Smooth Operator peanut butter, which provides 4 grams of protein per serving, while the 4.3oz size contains a 1.15oz squeeze pack which provides 7g of protein. Dandy® Crunchables™ contain 1.5oz of peanut butter in a dipping cup and provides 9 grams of protein per serving.

Duda Farm Fresh Foods created the celery snack line to meet the growing consumer demand for healthy snacks.

“Duda delivers what Americans want to eat,” said Dan Duda, President and Chief Operating Officer. “More than half of Americans snack two to three times a day. The mission of our company is to offer our products in ways that directly meets the needs of consumers, particularly in the celery category. Innovation has always been our leading edge, and now with our ongoing research, we know what traits and attributes are most important to the consumer when it comes to the product and the way it is presented in the grocery store.”

“We’re thrilled to be working with Duda to add delicious, protein-packed peanut butter to their innovative line of celery snack products,” said Lee Zalben, Founder & President of Peanut Butter & Co.

The celery snacking line is processed and shipped out of Duda’s state of the art plant in Oxnard, Calif., and is available now to customers nationwide.
