Mondelez Philippines wishes everyone a happy National Cheese Day!
What a great day to enjoy some delicious snacks made with the company’s beloved cheese brands, Eden cheese and Cheez Whiz. After all, a recent survey on snacking behaviour shows that snacking at home has become a bonding moment for more families as we continue to be on lockdown. Parents also share that snacking has become one of the sources of satisfaction throughout the day, with them choosing snacks that are fun to eat.
According to the global State of Snacking report, snacking has enabled bonding among families during this isolating time of staying at home and having less interaction with people outside your household. Over three-quarters of respondents have done something to connect with others via food, while 40% shared that they have made a snack together with their family members while on lockdown. The survey was commissioned by the parent company of snack maker Mondelez Philippines to understand how the pandemic has affected snacking behaviours globally.
Snacking is an important and growing consumer behaviour. Growth in snacking categories is set to outpace the broader food industry. It’s high time we understand more about snacking and the growing role it plays in people’s lives. Below, see more insights on snacking from the survey:
- 78% of work-from-home parents say that snacking is one of the few sources of reward and satisfaction in their day. Parents’ schedules have changed, from being away from home to having to deal with household duties more frequently during the pandemic. Snacking makes a great escape and reward for their busier days.
- 48% of all snackers make sure to enjoy something fun to eat – a creative snack to bring excitement to their every day at home.

It is the maker of iconic cheese brands such as Eden cheese and Cheez Whiz – both with equally rich histories of being part of Filipino snacks through the past decades. Did you know both brands are still made in the same factory where they started many decades ago? That’s cheese-making expertise you cannot beat.
Times may change but these brands remain #1 in their categories because of their unbeatable deliciousness, superior quality and versatility. Who doesn’t love Eden cheese on spaghetti – a Pinoy party classic? Or even Cheez Whiz on a warmly toasted slice of bread or pan de sal.

Good thing Eden cheese and Cheez Whiz can help you with that. Care to try Eden cheese as part of a fun charcuterie or as cheese sticks? Or maybe use Cheez Whiz as a yummy and nutrient-filled topping on fries and nachos? It has a taste that kids love so you can dip, drizzle and spread it along with your favourite snacks! Cheez Whiz is also a source of Vitamin A, Vitamin D, Calcium and Phosphorus.
