A dip in the Mediterranean
Sabra Dipping has introduced a new line of Mediterranean Bean Dips made with wholesome beans, real vegetables, and Mediterranean herbs and spices. Available in three flavors, the kosher dips are gluten- and dairy-free, and contain 2 grams of protein per serving. The dips are the latest innovation to embrace Sabra’s Mediterranean heritage, while offering a great-tasting, plant-based snacking option.

“Sabra’s new line of bean dips brings the flavors of the Mediterranean home for American consumers,” says Liza Laibe, director of marketing innovation at Sabra Dipping. “Our focus on the consumer guided us toward this category-expanding innovation, and the feedback we’ve received in early market rollouts has been excellent. Sabra Mediterranean Bean Dips deliver a fresh, bold taste with every delicious bite and pair beautifully with veggies [and] tortilla and pita chips.”

Sabra’s Mediterranean Bean Dips are available in White Bean with Spinach & Roasted Garlic, Red Bean with Sundried Tomato & Basil, and Black Bean with Roasted Tomato & Smoked Paprika in the deli section of grocery stores and supermarkets for a suggested retail price of $3.99.

Maple syrup-sweetened fruit spread
Polaner, a leading national brand of fruit spreads, jams, and jellies, has debuted Fruit & Maple premium fruit spread. The unique product is sweetened with pure maple syrup and is available in four luscious flavors: strawberry, raspberry, peach, and blueberry.

Fruit & Maple spreads pair the fresh taste of fruit with the delicate sweetness of pure maple syrup. Each variety contains no more than four ingredients, the first two of which are fruit and pure maple syrup.

“There is nothing like Polaner Fruit & Maple on the market today,” says Meghan Swatt, brand manager. “With the popularity of pure maple syrup, it is a natural fit to combine maple syrup with the delicious fruit ingredients found in our signature Polaner All Fruit. And, it is exciting to extend the traditional usage to occasions like appetizers or cocktails.”

The premium fruit spreads contain no high fructose corn syrup or artificial flavors or colors and are available at retailers nationwide for a suggested retail price of $3.99.

Gluten-free crispbread
A wholesome, authentic crispbread cracker is one of the foods most often missed among people who are living gluten-free. Now Wasa, the world’s leader in crispbread production, is stepping in with two new varieties: Gluten Free Original and Gluten Free Sesame & Sea Salt.

The crispbreads are made with potato and amaranth, an ancient grain that is naturally gluten-free, along with real sourdough for a traditional bread flavor. The crispbread is Non-GMO Project Verified, contains no lactose ingredients, is vegetarian, and is baked without palm oil.

“We felt it was important to develop a crispbread line for the increasing number of people who are adopting gluten-free lifestyles, while still ensuring that it delivers the taste and texture crispbread cracker lovers expect from Wasa,” says Melissa Tendick, marketing vice president—Americas.

The gluten-free crispbreads come in convenient snack packs and are available nationwide for a suggested retail price of $3.99.
