Flavours launches NutraBitz all-natural, probiotic soft chews

CORONA, Calif. Flavours Inc. on Monday announced the introduction of NutraBitz, a line of all-natural, oat-based soft chews containing both prebiotics and probiotics for private label applications.

“Probiotics are one of the hottest market trends today, but right now consumers can’t get them in delivery forms that make taking probiotics enjoyable. NutraBitz changes that,” Flavours Inc. director of sales, Tara Foster, said.

Flavours plans to showcase the new product offering Supply Side West, which is being held Oct. 22-24 in Las Vegas.

According to the company, the idea for NutraBitz was inspired by the continuing emergence of medical research demonstrating the benefits of probiotics in a wide variety of health conditions and growing consumer interest and demand for probiotic alternatives to refrigerated yogurts and probiotic capsules and tablets. “Consumers are now much more aware of the benefits of probiotics and are looking for other ways of getting them into the daily diet,” the company stated.

Each 5.5 gram NutraBitz soft chew is 15-20 calories and contains 1 billion CFU of the GanedenBC30 strain of Bacillus coagulans probiotics.
