ST. SIMONS ISLAND, GA. — Farm Rich announced the addition of four new frozen snacks to the company’s lineup. Stuffed Buffalo Crunchers with Frank’s RedHot Sauce, Spinach Artichoke Dip Bites, Grilled Cheese Bites and the return of a fan favorite, Pepperoni Pizza Roll-Ups, are available now at Walmart stores nationwide for a standard retail price of $6.68 each.
Farm Rich Breaded Buffalo Crunchers marks the brand’s first collaboration with Frank’s RedHot, the #1 hot sauce in the world, according to Euromonitor International Ltd, based on custom research conducted September 2023 for volume sales (oz/mL) in 2022 through all retail channels.
The product features real mozzarella cheese and spicy Buffalo sauce paired up with a hint of blue cheese seasoning in the breaded coating. The new Crunchers are also a good source of calcium (15% DV) and protein (8 grams) and come in an 18-oz carton with six servings.
The Pepperoni Pizza Roll-Ups return to grocery shelves this fall. Made with a crispy flour tortilla, 100% real mozzarella cheese and whole pepperoni slices, this latest pizzeria-style item packs all the flavor of a pepperoni pizza into a handheld snack. Each 13-oz carton contains 10 Roll-Ups along with a 3-oz marinara sauce side for dipping. The Pepperoni Pizza Roll-Ups have 9 grams of protein per serving.
Rich Farms noted that pizza-style snacks continue to be one of the grocery industry’s most popular snack categories, with nearly 11% growth in the last two years.
The new Farm Rich Spinach Artichoke Dip Bites are made with real spinach and chunks of artichokes, mixed with mozzarella, parmesan and cream cheese, and sealed in a crispy breading.
And the Grilled Cheese-Style Bites were meant to appeal to both children and adults. The handheld snack is made with American cheese, served in a crispy bread coating and contains 9 grams of protein per four-piece serving. Farm Rich noted that frozen grilled cheese snacks are climbing in popularity, with $13.2 million in annual sales and 5% annual growth.
The new products are quick and easy to prepare in an air fryer, conventional oven, toaster oven or microwave (Pizza Roll-Ups). Meghan Ozamiz, director of appetizers for Rich Products, said the newest offerings continue the company’s tradition of innovative, appealing cheese snacks.
“Farm Rich has been making some of America’s favorite frozen snacks and appetizers since 1982, starting with our popular Mozzarella Stick, and today we are America’s No. 1 frozen cheese snacks brand,” said Meghan Ozamiz, director of marketing at Rich Products. “Each of these new items offers a new twist on a nostalgic favorite and showcases our continued commitment to making a variety of tasty snacks while appealing to the evolving tastes of our consumers.”
