SALTED SNACK
Dot's Pretzels LLC took home the gold medal with the most votes in the Salted
Snack category. The company expanded its line of pretzel twists with the
new Honey Mustard variety. This is the third seasoning in the company's
pretzel lineup, joining Dot's Original and Southwest flavors. The flavor
was launched in June 2021 after hundreds of customers submitted
requests via social media for a honey mustard seasoning. The company
responded and began development of the new flavor in 2020. Dot's
Honey Mustard pretzels are available for vending and micro markets in
1.5-oz. personal and 5-oz. bag sizes.
Following in a close second place is Deep River Snacks' Zesty Lime
kettle cooked chips featuring a bold lime flavor. These chips contain no
artificial flavors, colors or preservatives and are cooked only in sunflower oil.

PROTEIN & MEAT SNACK
According to Food Insight's 2021 survey, " From 'Chemical-Sounding'
to 'Clean': Consumer Perspectives on Food Ingredients, " Americans
are paying more attention to ingredient lists, selecting clean ingredients
over chemical-sounding ingredients. In fact, nearly two-thirds (63%)
of adults say the ingredients in a food or beverage have at least a
moderate influence on what they buy. The winner in the Protein &
Meat Snack category showcases these findings. Righteous Felon
craft jerky is made with top-quality, hormone- and antibiotic-free
beef sourced from Roseda, a celebrated Black Angus farm located
in northern Maryland. Righteous Felon jerky is handmade and
produced in small batches to ensure freshness, quality and
consistency for the ultimate tasting experience.
Coming in second place is Baja Jerky Street Taco flavor.
