Craize's Toasted Snack Crackers are Versatily & Sensorially Satisfying
Laura McQuarrie — February 28, 2026 — Lifestyle
Craize combines the satisfying crunch of a chip with the versatile and toppable nature of a cracker in the form of a vegan-friendly, gluten-free, non-GMO, seed-oil-free product made in an allergen-friendly facility.
These snappy, Latin-inspired toasted snacks are made with corn flour, olive oil, and other simple, whole-food ingredients to form a flavorful variety for every snacker's preference. While Jalapeño Lime entices those who love a hint of heat, Guava and Coconut speak to snackers who crave a taste of the tropics, and the Everything flavor captures the essence of beloved bagel toppings with a savory blend of sea salt, poppy seeds, minced onions, granulated garlic and rosemary extract.
At the Specialty Food Association's Winter Fancy Faire, Craize's Toasted Corn Snacks Everything Flavor were named a 2026 sofi Gold Award winner.
