Irwin’s Bakery is turning its fan-favourite ‘Jammy Joey’ packaging pink this October in support of Asda’s Tickled Pink campaign for Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
The limited-edition Jammy Joeys will be among over 200 iconic products featuring specially designed pink packaging and on-pack messaging available at Asda stores to raise awareness about breast cancer.
Additionally, a portion of sales from Tickled Pink products will be donated to breast cancer charities Breast Cancer Now and CoppaFeel!.
