Woodridge Snacks to Introduce Japanese Yuzu Zest Tempura Veggie Mix & Mango Fruit Rolls During Fancy Faire Show

SPI West Port, the creators of ALO Drink—the #1 aloe vera beverage brand in the U.S. and Canada—and Jenji Boba Tea, will be announcing boldly innovative new products, significantly expanded retail distribution plans for 2026 and brand new displays showcasing its newly-relaunched Woodridge Snacks brand during the Winter Fancy Faire show. Woodridge Snacks will be exhibiting in Booth #1232 during the show, taking place January 11-13 at the San Diego Convention Center.

Expertly crafted to meet the growing desire among consumers and retailers alike for boldly adventurous and culturally authentic international products that are every bit as wholesome as they are delicious, all affordably-priced Woodridge Snacks products are vegan, sustainably-sourced, non-GMO, low calorie, free of artificial flavors, colors, or preservatives.

During the Winter Fancy Faire show, Woodridge Snacks will be showcasing its brand new Japanese Yuzu Zest Tempura-Style Veggie Mix, which will be formally introduced during Expo West in March. Bursting with bold, refreshing flavor and featuring real zucchini, eggplant, and onions lightly coated in gluten-free rice flour—light & airy Japanese tempura style—Japanese Yuzu Zest Tempura-Style Veggie Mix products are gently vacuum-fried to preserve the delicate crispness and garden-fresh taste of their all-natural ingredients.

Seasoned with a savory blend of zesty, citrusy yuzu, a dollop of wasabi for a touch of heat, a hint of garlic for warmth and depth, and a whisper of smoky umami for that crave-worthy finish, Yuzu Zest Japanese Tempura-Style Veggie Mix represents a delectably healthier snack alternative for savoring at home, at work, during workouts, at social events or on vacation.

In addition, Woodridge Snacks will be showcasing another recent product entry, Mango Fruit Rolls, and previewing a new 24-count display box for the popular new item that will be formally introduced to distributors and retailers during Expo West in March.

Mango Fruit Rolls offer a tasty passport to the Mekong Delta region of Vietnam, where mouth-watering ripe mangos are harvested and then rolled in a wood-fired oven and baked with sticky rice chapati flatbread. The result is a sweet, slightly crispy and chewy snack containing over 82% real mango fruit that blends tropical freshness with the comforting warmth of homemade goodness.

In other news, Woodridge Snacks has been selected to promote its unique product line through INFRA (Independent Natural Food Retailers Association) Buyers Boxes—curated sample boxes designed to introduce products to INFRA's purchasing decision-makers. INFRA represents a nationwide network of independent natural food retailers, including more than 500 key buyers, category managers, store owners, and executives focused on healthy, sustainable foods. Woodridge Snacks products will ship to approximately 300 INFRA stores in February.
