After enduring more than a year of COVID-19 pandemic stress and anxiety, consumers are prioritizing health and safety more than ever before. Online and in-store shoppers are looking for better-for-you nourishment by scanning labels, zeroing in on unfamiliar ingredients, skipping items loaded with sodium, sugar, and fat, and looking for as many health benefits as possible in every snack or meal. Among the sought-after foods and snacks in “the new normal,” as reported by various grocery retailers and experts, are: dates; low-sugar chocolate bars, sour cream and onion protein puffs, and ketogenic malted milk balls; fruit and nut snacks made with simple ingredients; salty and savory snacks (including ready-to-eat popcorn); chickpea chips, green plantain chips, keto bars, refrigerated snack solutions, and ready-to-eat meat (sticks, jerky, and bacon to go).
