Good Foods launches grab & go snacks
Good Foods announced that its new line of Grab & Go snack cups are now available nationwide. The four varieties are Guacamole, Salsa, Avocado Tomatillo Salsa and Artichoke Jalapeno dip, each with tortilla chips. The varieties will be showcased at the Natural Products Expo West show March 11-13 in Anaheim, California.
“Health conscious consumers are searching for convenient, great tasting snacks that offer positive nutritional benefits,” said Mandy Bottomlee, marketing director for the Good Foods brand. “We’re thrilled that we can offer the experience of handmade restaurant quality dips that are not only gluten free, but contain no artificial preservatives, no artificial colors and no added sugar.”
These consumer desires are also reinforced by recent Hartman Group research (Hartbeat Newsletter, 2/16/16): “Modern snacking trends are increasingly supported by health and wellness cues in on-the-go, single-serve formats and orient to significant attributes, including: fresh, less processed (but packaged), free-from foods, health neutral, rapid-hand-to-mouth snacks and lower-sugar-content energy foods.”
Good Foods said the Grab & Go packs are made with real ingredients, like fresh hand-scooped Hass avocados, and are high pressure processed to capture the flavors and to maintain freshness. Good Foods Grab & Go snack cups are conveniently packaged in 3.38 oz. single-serve cups. Each pack contains between 140 and 250 calories, according to Good Foods. The packs are currently available in the refrigerated produce department at Sprouts Farmers Markets, Hy-Vee, Walgreens and select Publix Super Markets. Suggested retail price is $2.49.
