This thread is for the 300 Mumsnetters who are taking part in the LowLow Snack Pack test.

Kerry Foods say: "At LowLow we want everyone to enjoy their food and feel good about it. We have created our new Snack Pack for people just like you. We'd love to hear what you think!

LowLow Snack Pack contains little slices of semi skimmed cheese, multigrain toasts and relish. They have been designed so that you can enjoy a tasty, fulfilling snack during your busy day. They are ideal for popping in your bag and eating on the go. Available in 3 delicious flavours: Red Pepper & Onion Chutney, Sweet Tomato Relish, Caramelised Onion Chutney. All with LowLow cheese made from semi skimmed milk to give you all the flavour of Cheddar and 1/3 less fat - we bet you'll struggle to tell the difference.

We hope you enjoy your LowLow Snack Pack! "

  • No I wasn't aware of the product.

*No.

  • I tried Caramelized onion chutney.

  • I ate it as a mid morning snack at home when the baby was having a nap.

  • I don't usually have a snack in the morning, but skipped breakfast as I was busy so needed to have something.

  • It was tastier than I expected and I enjoyed it, but was still pecking after it.

  • It is appealing as I'm trying to loose weight and am counting calories.

  • I'm unsure.

  • Probably not as it was not filling enough for me.

  • Not applicable as I hadn't heard of it before.

Sorry it's taken so long. It took me forever to find the product in store. Answering the questions:

I wasn't aware of the brand beforehand.
I tried the tomato pack and ate it mid morning at work. I often snack at work andit was instead of breaking into my lunch early! It was satisfying and felt more nutritious than crisps or something similar. The idea of cheese with semi skimmed milk is fine - it's the milk we drink normally at home. I don't think I would go as far as recommending it - it was nice enough but not outstanding. It's also a little expensive I think. Thanks for letting me test.

No, hadn't heard of the brand or the product. Was quite difficult to locate as we live rurally and not stocked by local supermarkets (small relative to a city size store).

Sweet tomato relish.

Where and when did you eat it?
At work for a mid-morning snack.

I wouldn't normally eat at that time but am pregnant and having to graze throughout the day to avoid feeling faint.

It was satisfying and great because it is lower calorie than other savoury foods that I've been eating.

Appealing idea to make the cheese with semi skimmed milk so it's not as fattening but still tastes good.

Would I recommend it? Yes, def to other pregnant friends who need to snack but don't want to end up enormous!

Would I buy it again - yes, at £1.50 it's cheaper than prepackaged sandwiches for lunch (which also always seem to be smothered in Mayo which I hate) and less calorific so if it was available in the local shop I'd def go for it in preference to the sandwich option.

I wasn't aware of the brand Before.

Thank you for the voucher.
