PARSIPPANY, N.J., May 21, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Ferrero, a global confectionery company, announced today that Tic Tac X-Freeze received a Most Innovative New Product Award at the 2019 Sweets & Snacks Expo, the confectionery and snack industry event sponsored by the National Confectioners Association. The annual Most Innovative New Product Awards highlight creative, innovative, and fun products new to the marketplace.

The newest innovation under the Tic Tac brand, Tic Tac X-Freeze is a sugar-free mint that delivers intense and long-lasting refreshment thanks to its larger piece size and cooling crystals. The product received recognition within the Gum & Mints category.

"With so much new product innovation happening across the industry, we're excited to be recognized by the National Confectioners Association and hear the overwhelming positive reaction from our retailers."

The winners were selected from more than 300 new product award entries across nine candy and snack categories, including chocolate; non-chocolate; sweet; salty; savory; novelty; seasonal; gourmet/premium; and gum & mints. Product submissions were rated on four weighted criteria: taste, packaging, innovation and go-to market feasibility.
