Finger Food Innovation: Frostkrone Brings Fresh Ideas to Anuga 2025
As consumer demand for convenient, high-quality snacks continues to rise, finger food has become one of the fastest-growing categories in the global food market. At Anuga 2025 in Cologne (4–8 October), the spotlight will fall on brands that are redefining snacking with bold flavours, fresh concepts, and practical convenience.
One such innovator is the Frostkrone Food Group, a company that has long been recognised for its extensive expertise in frozen finger food. Now, the German-based group is setting its sights on a new and fast-growing segment: chilled snacks.
A Fresh Twist: The New Chilled Range
Unveiled in September 2025, Frostkrone’s Chilled Range introduces seven new varieties designed for today’s on-the-go lifestyles. The products are positioned as fresh, flexible, and full of flavour – perfect for busy consumers seeking snackable indulgence without compromise.
CEO Frédéric Dervieux explains:
“Today’s consumers want snacks that are simple, convenient, and absolutely delicious. Our Chilled Range delivers exactly that – for anyone who’s short on time but doesn’t want to compromise on taste.”
With an extended shelf life, transparent packaging, and vibrant branding, the new range promises confidence for retailers and irresistible appeal for shoppers. Each product is quick to prepare in the air fryer or oven, turning everyday moments into street-food style experiences.
