Fresh Del Monte has announced the extension of its collaboration with “Miraculous” for a limited-edition promotion for its Kiwi Origin South Europe campaign.

With a mission to encourage children to consume more fruits and vegetables daily, the Del Monte x “Miraculous” partnership initially launched this summer with superheroes Ladybug and Cat Noir from the global TV series “Miraculous – Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir” featured on packaged goods and fresh fruits including pineapples and bananas. The new limited promotion extends the collaboration in celebration of the authentic taste and superior quality of kiwi fruit exclusively from the European region in three different pulps: green, gold and red. Ladybug and Cat Noir are featured on the eco-friendly paper packaging of the kiwis, which will be available this month.
