As an official licensee of this hugely successful Netflix series, the collaboration has provided us with a unique opportunity to showcase the exceptional quality and versatility of our handpicked fruit to families across the UK & Republic of Ireland.

At Del Monte®, we actively seek brand partnerships to help encourage children to eat more fruits and vegetables. This collaboration will nurture the nostalgia of original Jurassic Park fans, whilst sparking the imagination of younger generations using some of the very latest, interactive technology.”
