J&J Snack Foods Corp.

J&J Snack Foods Corp.’s newest entry in its artisanal soft pretzel product line is a Brauhaus Pretzel. Taking more than eight hours to produce, these authentic, Bavarian style, sourdough soft pretzels are hand crafted without artificial colors or flavors and feature a light and fluffy interior to balance out the crunchy exterior. They’re available at select Price Chopper and Meijer stores, with plans to expand to additional retailers in 2025. They come in four-count packs with an Everything Bagel topping packet for $6.99.

Wonderful Pistachios

Wonderful Pistachios’ new packaging for its In-Shell and No Shells varieties emphasizes the company’s commitment to quality, fun and health. The word “Wonderful” is now larger, so consumers recognize the brand, and there is a “Get Crackin’ ” callout that reminds consumers of how fun pistachios can be to eat. There is also a “Protein Power” logo to highlight the nutritional benefits of choosing pistachios as a snack.

Coleman All Natural Meats

Coleman All Natural Meats’ new hickory smoked turkey bacon is part of its line extension of 8-oz products.  The new bacon pack retails for a suggested $5.99. The 8-oz line extension will also include Coleman Natural’s popular hickory smoked and applewood smoked no sugar added uncured bacon made from Heritage Duroc pork. The products include label claims like no antibiotics ever, no added hormones, all vegetarian diet and humanely raised in the United States by locally owned family farms.
