Wedderspoon

Malvern-based Wedderspoon, the brand famous for its popular Manuka honey, has launched a new line of Organic Manuka Pops, offering the beneficial health properties of Manuka honey in a convenient, kid-friendly format.

The USDA organically-certified pops are available in eye-catching packaging and three distinct flavors – raspberry, orange, and grape – and a variety pack. With a focus on the “well-beeing” of kids (and grown-ups alike), these tasty organic pops are created using simple, natural ingredients. Each pop boasts the added benefit of 100 percent of the RDA of Vitamin C for kids ages four and up.

“Our team has worked hard to develop a great-tasting, organically certified product that showcases the benefits of Manuka for the whole family,” said Wedderspoon CEO Rebecca Remley. “We couldn’t be more proud of the final result.”
