Conagra Brands Showcases Line-Up at 2022 Sweets & Snacks Expo
Conagra Brands, Inc. is arriving at the National Confectioners Association’s 2022 Sweets & Snacks Expo with a wide variety of snack foods. Conagra’s $2.9 billion snacking portfolio, one of the largest and fastest growing in the food industry, features iconic and emerging brands, dynamic licensed partnerships and snack solutions to address nearly every craving. The Sweets & Snacks Expo is being held in Conagra Brands’ hometown of Chicago from May 23-26.
“The Sweets & Snacks Expo is a great opportunity to connect with our customers and showcase the power of our snacking line-up,” said Spencer Fivelson, VP/GM, Snacks for Conagra Brands. “Across sweet treats, meat snacks, seeds, salty snacks, popcorn and more, our brands are ready to stand out on shelf and at the Expo.”
The Conagra Brands booth will offer a look at a suite of recent innovation that debuted last fall, along with top-selling favorites from industry-leading brands, including:
Slim Jim: Slim Jim is bringing a bold array of snacks to the Expo, headlined by Slim Jim Savage. These 3 oz. meat sticks, available in Original, Mild and new Spicy, brought in nearly $40 million in sales. The new Slim Monster Short Boi™ is a .97 oz. meat stick the size of a candy bar that’s specifically designed to be shelved at front end, near candy. Slim Jim fans can also enjoy the classic combo of meat and cheese with the new Slim Jim Original ‘N Cheese Big Boss™, which delivers 13g of protein per pack. Conagra’s full meat snacks portfolio also includes Duke’s® and Big Mama® pickled sausage.
DAVID and BiGS Sunflower Seeds: Conagra offers a combo within the sunflower seeds category. The BiGS flavor experts recently teamed up with the PIZZA! PIZZA! pros at Little Caesars® and the result was the new BiGS Little Caesars ExtraMostBestest® Pepperoni Pizza Sunflower Seeds, a seed that delivers meaty, saucy, cheesy flavor.
ACT II and Angie’s BOOMCHICKAPOP: ACT II has entered the ready-to-eat popcorn category with the flavor popcorn lovers crave most: Butter! New 1.7 oz. bags of ACT II Butter Lovers® ready-to-eat popcorn can be enjoyed on-the-go or while enjoying your favorite movie.
Angie’s BOOMCHICKAPOP® popcorn continues to fuel category growth with its Sweet & Salty Kettle Corn made with “Real Simple Ingredients. Nothing Fake.”
Andy Capp’s: The Andy Capp’s salty snacks portfolio has expanded beyond Hot Fries and Cheddar Fries. Andy Capp’s Beer Battered Onion Rings are now available in 2 oz. bags of Original and a new Hot variety.
Snack Pack: A colorful array of Snack Pack Juicy Gels® feature flavors inspired by Fanta® and Sour Patch Kids®. Sour Patch Kids Redberry and Blue Raspberry and Fanta Orange, Grape and Pineapple are among the highlighted flavors.
