Xochitl Elevates Its C lassic

Tor

For over 30 years, Xochitl has set the standard for premium tor tilla chips –celebrated for their thin, crispy tex ture, authentic M exican craf tsmanship and unwaver ing commitment to qualit y –wrapped up in its signature craft paper bag As ingredient transparenc y and oil choice continue to influence purchasing decisions, Xochitl introduces the nex t evolution of its por tfolio: Tor tilla chips now crafted with avocado oil

As consumers become increasingly ingredient-aware, oils have taken center stage in purchasing decisions Avocado oil has emerged as a favorite for its clean profile, high smoke point and neutral flavor – qualities that align seamlessly with Xochitl ’s commitment to qualit y without compromise For the brand, the decision was a natural ex tension of its philosophy, not a depar ture from it.

Xochitl’s chips are crafted using timehonored methods, beginning with whole corn kernels steeped in limewater, ground into masa and rolled thin for a light, crispy tex ture The introduc tion of avocado oil enhances this process without altering what has always set Xochitl apar t: Authentic corn flavor, satisfying crunch and a chip designed to complement – rather than overpower –fresh salsas, guacamole and wholesome dips

From a retail and categor y perspective, the transition reflec ts broader mo -

mentum toward recognizable, trusted oils Consumers are reading labels more closely than ever and avocado oil has become a clear signal of modern quality across natural, conventional and specialt y channels B y adopting avocado oil, Xochitl strengthens its relevance with today ’s shopper while honor ing the brand equity it has built over three decades

M ost impor tantly, the upgrade required no compromise. Xochitl chips are still made for the moments that br ing people together – from ever yday snacking to social get-togethers with friends and family The move to avocado oil simply reinforces the brand ’s longstanding promise: Premium ingredients, authentic craftsmanship and chips that taste as good as the moments they ’re par t of.

C raize Corn S nacks Earns sofi Award

Finalist Honors for Ever ything Flavor

Craize Corn Snacks is bringing industr y recognition and fire grilled crunch to Expo West following news that its Ever ything Flavor has been named a Finalist in the 2026 sofi Awards, presented by the Specialty Food Association The distinc tion places Craize among the most innovative specialt y food produc ts of the year, selec ted through blind tasting by a panel of buyers evaluating flavor, tex ture, ingredient quality and originality

The sofi Awards, now in their fifth decade, are widely regarded as the top honor in specialt y food Each year, more than a thousand entries compete across categor ies, with only a select group advancing to finalist status Craize’s recognition signals growing momentum for the brand within a crowded snack categor y that continues to demand cleaner labels and differentiated formats

Positioned as a chip cracker hybrid, Craize is defined by its proprietar y fire griddled process Instead of bak ing, fr ying or puffing, the corn-based dough is slowly cooked over open flame, creating a snappy texture and deeper flavor without added oils. The result is a crisp that per forms equally well as a standalone snack or as a base for dips and toppings

The Ever ything Flavor, the variety recognized by the Specialty Food Association, draws inspiration from classic bagel

seasoning, combining sesame and poppy seeds with garlic and onion Judges cited its balance of bold taste and crunch as key differentiators. Craize stood out not only for flavor, but also for its ingredient integrity, offering a product that is vegan, gluten free, non GMO, Kosher, seed oil free and produced in an allergen friendly facility

B eyond the finalist produc t, Craize’s full lineup includes five flavors spanning both sweet and savor y profiles Options range from Sweet Corn, lightly finished with dar k brown sugar, to Guava and Coconut varieties that lean into fruit for ward notes, alongside Jalapeño Lime for consumers seek ing heat and acidit y. All flavors are made with real ingredients mixed direc tly into the dough rather than applied as sur face seasoning

As specialt y retailers and buyers look ahead to the coming year, Craize’s sofi recognition reinforces the brand’s relevance in a snack market shaped by versatility, clean labels and craveability The finalist announcement also underscores continued interest in produc ts that blur traditional categor y lines while delivering on taste

Craize is par t of the K ayco B eyond por tfolio and continues to expand distribution nationwide.

Sun- dr ied tomatoes are trending like never before Bella Sun Luci stands out in the market for its superior quality and exceptional taste M ooney Far ms, the premier producer of B ella Sun Luci produc ts, pioneered the domestic produc tion of sun- dried tomatoes in olive oil at an affordable price nearly 40 years ago M ooney Far ms redefined an ageold produc t by innovating the dr ying process, eliminating salt and using the finest locally sourced tomatoes from Califor nia Or iginally, sun- dr ied tomatoes were impor ted from I taly and were k nown for their pungent flavor, a result of the heav y use of salt during the dr ying process to preser ve the tomatoes. M any other sun- dr ied tomato companies have sacr ificed qualit y for economic gain; this shift has led to a flood of lower- cost impor ts that of ten sacr ifice qualit y, taste and consistenc y I n contrast, Bella Sun Luci continues to use Califor nia- grown tomatoes.

M ooney Far ms, the woman- owned and family- operated company behind Bella Sun Luci, holds the distinc tion of being the first to commercially produce sun-dried tomatoes in the United States Bella Sun Luci’s long-standing exper tise ensures that ever y sun-dried tomato delivers authentic taste and exceptional freshness, setting a high standard in the market
