Unsurprisingly, salty snacks experienced a slight increase in sales over the past year, as Americans stayed home during the pandemic. Chips, popcorn, pretzels, and tortilla chips are all easily available snacks to munch on at home, especially during movie nights, and as a result the category experienced a small uptick.
RIND, maker of functional and sustainable whole fruit snacks, is giving chips a new look this summer with the launch of RIND Chips—a single-ingredient fruit chip.
Variety is the spice of life when it comes potato chips. While classic chips still own the lion's share of the U.S. market, salty snack companies are offering new flavor combinations in a variety of packaging sizes. New flavors include spicy buffalo, hot BBQ and cauliflower, and many new offerings are gluten-free and Non-GMO Project verified.
REAL FOOD FROM THE GROUND UP is expanding its cauliflower-based snack offerings and entering into a new salty snack subcategory with the launch of Cauliflower Potato Chips.
