rice tortilla chips, which include an enhancement of
vitamins and other healthy fortifications.
"The strategy is for people to 'Enjoy Being Good!'
while indulging in a tasty better-for-you snack," said
Kevin Brick, senior vice-president, marketing, Utz
Quality Foods.
Way Better Snacks, Minneapolis, takes nutrition
and healthy ingredients one step further by sprouting the seeds, beans and grains used in its products,
which are all Non-GMO Project verified, gluten-free,
100% whole grain certified and kosher. Sprouting
allows better nutrient absorption and a better taste.
"Our mission has always been to make the
best-tasting, best-for-you snacks, so people can feel
good about eating well," said Jim Breen, founder and
CEO, Way Better Snacks.
Tortilla chips are also a vehicle to eat with healthy
dips like hummus, bean dips, salsa and guacamole.
Innovation in purple corn tortilla chips increased in
2016, with launches like Late July Snacks Purple Corn
Tortilla Chips as well as Organic Que Pasta Purple
Corn Chips, according to GlobalData research. Way
Better Foods also added Nacho Cheese and Chipotle
Barbeque with Purple Sweet Potato to its lineup of
whole grain tortilla chips.
"We are always paying attention to ingredient
trends like purple sweet potato, which we used as a
key ingredient in our new Chipotle Barbeque tortilla
chips," Mr. Breen added.
Old Dutch Foods, Roseville, MN, launched a tortilla
chip line in its Canadian market under two brands,
Restaurante and Restaurante Signature. The Signature
line features a blue corn tortilla chip and a red beet-infused chip with a purplish-red color.
"Tortilla chips have a heartier crunch and texture
than some potato chips that may make a person feel
satisfied after eating fewer chips," said Kelly McGolrick, vice-president, category management
and customer marketing, Shearer's Snacks,
Massillon, OH.
Shearer's Snacks offers tortilla chips made
with black beans, quinoa, flaxseed, blue corn
and other grains. It also offers "bite size" tortilla
chips for those wanting smaller portions.
"Combine healthy ingredients with
unique and intense flavors, and you've got
a successful product," Ms. McGolrick noted.
"We've been testing tortilla chips using vegetables, especially those roasted or charred
vegetable flavors that are currently popular
as a whole food."
Bold flavors are on the rise. In 2016, sriracha
was trendy, along with chipotle profiles used
with Tostitos Cantina Chipotle Thins tortilla
