News: Frito-Lay - New Smartfood Selects

Frito Lay has expanded their brand of Smartfood products (or rather product since their was only one flavor of popcorn initially) into a whole line dubbed "Smartfood Selects" which feature all-natural ingredients, no preservatives, and no MSG.

The Smartfood Selects line includes popped chips, popcorn, and puffed corn. Another highlight of the brand is that certain nutritional information (calories per serving, saturated fat, sodium, and sugar) is displayed prominently on the front of the package  and accompanied by readily identifiable nutrition icons.

The new items in the line are:

Parmesan Herb Popcorn seasons popcorn with a blend of Parmesan cheese, basil, parsley, garlic, onion, and black pepper.

Buffalo Cheddar Popcorn is a combination inspired by spicy buffalo wing sauce and cooled by cheddar cheese. The flavor is rounded out with cayenne, pepper, vinegar, paprika, garlic, and onion.

Cinnamon Brown Sugar Popcorn pairs brown sugar with cinnamon.

Sour Cream Onion Puffed Corn is a classic sour cream and onion work combo complemented with garlic, parsley, and onion.

Italian Herb Multigrain Popped Chips means mostly basil and oregano plus garlic.

Cinnamon Brown Sugar Multigrain Popped Chips is a sweet option with cinnamon and brown sugar.

Feta Herb Hummus Popped Chips combines feta cheese with rosemary, basil, and black pepper in a hummus chip.

Garlic Tomato Basil Hummus Popped Chips is another hummus-based popped chip with roasted garlic accented by Parmesan, tomato, basil, and thyme.

Smartfood Selects Popcorn come in 6-ounce bags, the puffed corn versions come in 4-ounce bags, and the Popped Chips in 3.25-ounce bags. All varieties carry a suggested retail price of $3.29.
