Rhythm Superfoods has launched a nationwide snack made from thinly sliced beets. 

Grain diversity has grown into a topic of great interest in the wake of significant gluten-free and other snack and baked goods innovation of late.

Boulder Canyon Authentic Foods has launched three uniquely-flavored kettle-cooked potato chips: Olive Oil Red Chili, Olive Oil Sweet Vinegar and Coconut Oil Pineapple Habanero.

Kettle Brand’s new Avocado Oil Chips are made with 100 percent avocado oil and seasoned with infused salts.

Simply7 Organic Veggie Chips from Simply 7 Snacks are made with all-natural, simple and easy-to-understand ingredients.

Popchips’ new Ridges line was created to appeal to consumers who love potato chips that deliver a big crunch without being deep-fried.

Spicy, savory and contrasting remain flavor favorites in the baked goods and snack categories, while reds and all-natural colors are tops for adding visual appeal.

The classics will always endure, and—in the right hands—a perfectly fried, evenly salted plain potato chip is a picture of snacking perfection.

Select segments of salty snacks like extruded snacks, chips and pretzels have aligned with prevailing shopper desires, and their sales numbers show it.
