The sweet and salty flavor profile has continued to permeate the consumer packaged goods (CPG) market as shoppers seek out ways to satiate cravings for sweet as well as savory treats, which is seeing new options like the Kellogg's Club Crisps Sweet & Salty flavor be introduced.
The new snack flavor within the product lineup is a limited-edition option that boasts the flavor of caramelized sugar along with a pop of saltiness that merge perfectly on the buttery base. The snack is crafted with no artificial flavors or colors, and is expected to be right at home with the existing flavors of Ranch and Sea Salt.
Director of Brand Marketing at Kellogg's Crackers Zach Wyer commented on the new Kellogg's Club Crisps Sweet & Salty flavor saying, "With trending sweet and savory snacks on the rise, we saw the perfect opportunity to bring a unique twist and seasonal offering to the Club Crisps line. Our innovation team worked to combine the perfect mix of sweet brown sugar and savory salt crystals to excite and delight tastebuds, and we're thrilled to share it in this new thin and crispy bite-size format."
