BETTY CROCKER REFRESHES ITS PACKAGING AND LAUNCHES TWO NEW PRODUCTS
Betty Crocker, is updating the look of its entire product portfolio with a new ‘modern-vintage’ theme, in a bid to create greater stand-out and on-shelf product appeal.
The brand refresh incorporates the introduction of two new products, Red Velvet Cake Mix and Cream Cheese Icing, and an update of its cookie and cupcake mix portfolio.
