Southeastern Grocers is debuting a number of limited-edition, fall-themed private label products just in time for the season.

The new sweets items include premium ice cream varieties and baked goods. Prestige Pumpkin Spice Latte ice cream features pumpkin ice cream, espresso flake and a swirl of vanilla cream. For those who don’t prefer pumpkin, the grocer’s Prestige Sack ‘Em Sundae ice cream features vanilla ice cream, caramel swirls, brownie bits and fudge flakes. As for baked goods, the new items include pumpkin muffins, pumpkin mini cupcakes and pumpkin danishes.

“We are excited to celebrate the fall season with the introduction of our new limited-edition seasonal Own Brands products,” said Dewayne Rabon, chief merchandising officer at Southeastern Grocers. “We've put a lot of thought and effort into the creation of these items to ensure they capture the essence of autumn, while maintaining an unwavering commitment to exceptional quality at an affordable price. The numerous accolades our products have earned so far this year affirm our dedication to product excellence.
