J&amp;J Snack Foods Partners with Mondelez

Partnership to yield OREO Churros

J&J Snack Foods Corp. announced a partnership with Mondelez International to introduce OREO® Churros. With a crispy exterior, warm soft interior and real OREO® cookie pieces in every bite, new OREO® churros have a "just-baked" OREO® cookie taste. This innovative new snack will be sold nationwide in the foodservice channel.

The new churros made their debut at the National Association of Convenience Stores (NACS) Show in Las Vegas earlier this month. Available in traditional churro sticks, double-twisted churros and bite-size churros, these delicious treats are ideal for quick service restaurants, convenience stores, sports & leisure venues and all segments within the foodservice industry. The churros can be served with OREO® cookie creme dip, supplied by J&J Snack Foods, rolled in sugar or topped with a favorite ice cream.

"As the leading churro manufacturer, we are excited about our new relationship with the world famous OREO® cookie brand," said Jerry Law, J&J Snack Foods Senior Vice President. "OREO® cookie and churro fans alike will not be disappointed in the latest snacking mash up."

102 years old, OREO® is the #1 brand on dessert menus and #1 selling cookie. J&J Snack Foods is the leading manufacturer of churros, often referred to as a Spanish donut, under Tio Pepe's Churros and California Churros brands.

This exclusive webinar outlines the use of a specialty enzyme that increases the umami of plant-based protein within the fibrous meat texture of texturized plant proteins. This “must-see” webinar will graphically demonstrate how this is accomplished with hard data including meat analog graphs, sample analyses, and sensory profiles.

Consumers continue to evolve when it comes to their expectations and choices with “clean label” food selections. Webinar panelists will discuss trends and technical solutions—for both today and tomorrow—involving clean label, plant-based, and processed foods and beverages.
