Wild Thingz candy has been created by a former Mondelēz International executive Fliss Newland as a vegan-friendly range of treats perfect for nutrition-minded consumers to enjoy. The candies come in three varieties including Zesty Pests, Fruity Flyers and Gummy Grubs, which are each organic, free from artificial ingredients and contain roughly half the amount of sugar when compared to mainstream alternatives. The plant-based treats respond to consumer demand for permissible versions of classic candies and are expected to make waves in the better-for-you market.

Wild Thingz candy is making its way onto Amazon in December, and will be offered via wholesalers like CLF Distribution, Diverse Fine Foods, Essential Trading, Hunt's Food Group and Suma Wholesale in January 2025. The treats prioritize a playful plant-focused branding to help them capture the attention of adults and kids alike.
