Kraft Heinz Unveils No-Thaw, Dippable PB&J Lunchables, Aims for $2B in Incremental Sales

Lunchables has introduced its first-ever dippable, no-thaw crustless PB&J, available nationwide for $2.49 per pack. The product aims to revolutionize snack time and is part of Kraft Heinz's strategy to generate $2 billion in incremental sales through innovations by 2027. The launch is accompanied by a remix of the nostalgic hip-hop hit "Peanut Butter Jelly Time" by Lil Jon and Twista.

Lunchables, a subsidiary of Kraft Heinz, has expanded its offerings with the introduction of its first-ever dippable, no-thaw crustless PB&J. Available nationwide for $2.49 per pack, the product is designed to revolutionize snack time for both kids and parents. The launch is part of Kraft Heinz's broader strategy to drive $2 billion in incremental sales through innovations by 2027 [1].

The new Lunchables PB&J, a "remix" of a beloved lunchtime staple, includes two deliciously creamy, crustless peanut butter sandwiches per pack, complete with a side of grape or strawberry flavored dip—perfectly crafted for optimal dipping and with no artificial colors. The product aims to address the number one pain point for parents: thaw time. Current PB&J offerings are frozen, requiring 30-60 minutes of thaw time before serving. Lunchables PB&J is ready-to-eat straight from the refrigerator, solving this frustration head-on [1].

To generate excitement around the launch, Lunchables has reunited GRAMMY Award-winning producer and artist Lil Jon and hip hop icon Twista to remix the nostalgic hit "Peanut Butter Jelly Time." The collaboration is a nod to the timeless debate between the perfect ratio of peanut butter and jelly in a PB&J, giving kids the freedom to enjoy their sandwich exactly how they like it [1].

The introduction of Lunchables PB&J is part of Kraft Heinz's commitment to making bigger, more intentional bets to fuel growth and create new experiences for consumers. The innovation grows Lunchables' presence in the sandwich category, following the brand's first entrance with the debut of Grilled Cheesies in 2023 [1].
