SNACKLINS

This week’s roundup of new products saw brands making chef-inspired condiments accessible to everyday consumers, creating plant-based versions of a popular seafood dish and rolling out seed-based granola bars inspired by a favorite cookie variety.

Snack brand Clif Bar last week announced the hiring of Sally Grimes as its new CEO, effective June 1. Meanwhile both Miyoko’s and Snacklins brought on two new sales executives.

Expo West is known as the launch pad for new products, new strategies, new flavors, and new brands. Despite its postponement, NOSH will continue to report on those new items scheduled for release around the show that may soon be entering the industry arena.

SNACKLINS, the Washington, D.C.-based snack company, announced it will be releasing a dairy-free, vegan Nacho flavor this month. The frequently requested flavor will be the fourth SKU in the SNACKLINS product line-up and the first new addition since the company’s founding.

Vegan pork rind brand Snacklins has named Kevin Blesy CEO. Blesy was previously head of strategy at Washington, D.C.-based pizza chain &pizza. On his transition to CPG, Blesy told NOSH that regardless of format, “food is the ultimate unifier.”
