NEW YORK: Abbott Laboratories, the world’s largest maker of heart stents and adult nutritional beverages, is doubling down on the crowded US$6.2bil US snack market with a line of six bars it hopes will grow into a new brand of wide-ranging products.
The Curate snacks -- including a chocolate-quinoa-hemp seeds bar and another one combining mission figs and balsamic vinegar – will start selling this month, with additional children’s choices coming in April.
