The activity is part of a wider partnership that Jammie Dodger has with Red Nose Day which launched at the start of January, backed by a £750,000 marketing push. From the 29 January 2009, two pence from Jammie Dodgers Red Nose Day packs sold will be donated to Comic Relief to raise £160,000. Burton's has also expanded the Jammie Dodgers brand by launching a new biscuit and cereal snack product called Splat Snacks.
