Slideshow: Real Food From the Ground Up, Campbell Soup, and New PepsiCo Products

The snack aisle is being spiced up with spicy chips, which include vegetable tortilla chips, cauliflower chips, and regular potato chips.

Professional basketball player Jayson Tatum and PepsiCo, Inc.’s Frito-Lay North America division have teamed up to launch a new Ruffles potato chip flavor. Frito-Lay’s Flamin’ Hot kick is combined with tangy barbecue flavor in Ruffles Flamin’ Hot BBQ. Mr. Tatum’s hometown of St. Louis, which is renowned for its hot barbecue, served as the inspiration for the flavor. According to the company, the new chips are the first Frito-Lay snack to combine barbecue and Flamin’ Hot flavors.

Bold and spicy barbecue flavors were a mainstay of my childhood in St. Louis, so adding that heat to my favorite snack is amazing to see — and taste,” Mr. Tatum remarked.

New hot snacks are available from The Campbell Soup Co. under the Late July and Kettle brands.

Beat the Heat is introducing Vegetable Tortilla Chips in late July! Chia seeds and chipotle seasoning are featured in the red pepper flavor. Verified by the Non-GMO Project, the tortilla chips are gluten-free, vegan, and vegan.

Kettle Brand is expanding its line of Krinkle Cut potato chips to include a habanero lime flavor. The Non-GMO Project has certified the chips to be gluten-free.

Real Food From the Ground Up is launching Cauliflower Chips in a spicy buffalo flavor. The products are certified vegan, gluten-free and Non-GMO Project verified.

“We see cauliflower as our lead vegetable base and will keep innovating until there is a plant-based, cauliflower offering for each salty snack subcategory,” said Deb Holt, chief marketing officer for Real Food From the Ground Up. “That said, we’re really excited about dipping into the potato chip category with a cauliflower-based version, as America’s favorite chip needed an update.

“Consumers see snacking as an important source of comfort, connection and community, especially during the past year. Real Food From the Ground Up will continue to be the leader in connection and plant-based snacks through product offerings both on retail shelves and online.”
