The brand, launched in the US in 2017, changed the game in the US frozen snacking category and was acquired by Mars in 2023 as a perfect addition to its platform of fast-growing, founder-led brands.
Pitched as the next frozen snacking trend, trüfrü is made using 100% natural fruit, picked ripe, double-immersed in smooth chocolate, and hyper-chilled to lock in all the flavour and nutrition.
