PARSIPPANY, N.J., June 4, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- B&G Foods
is hitting the road, bringing the big city taste of its iconic
New York Style® snacks to the south for
the International Dairy-Deli-Bakery Association (IDDBA) 2015
Seminar & Expo. This June, the brand will expand its pita chip
offerings with the launch of two new delicious flavors, Ancient
Grains & Flaxseed and Chia Seeds
& Quinoa, along with brand-new recipes for its existing
flavors, including Sea Salt, Parmesan Garlic and Herb, Red Hot
Chili Pepper and Garden Fresh Ranch. All New York Style Pita
Chips serve up robust flavor and the crunch consumers crave for an
even better, more delicious snacking experience.
The new pita chip flavors, made with hearty ingredients like
whole wheat flour, amaranth, buckwheat and quinoa, have been
thoughtfully crafted with the smart snacker in mind. "We wanted to
create a pita chip that consumers could feel good about, without
sacrificing the quality or bold taste
New York Style fans love," said Michael Skalski, senior brand manager,
New York Style. "With the new Ancient Grains &
Flaxseed and Chia Seeds & Quinoa
flavors, we're giving shoppers the trending ingredients they're
looking for in a tasty snack they can enjoy any time of the
day."
To complement the new flavors, the brand also made updates
to its existing pita chip line, serving up "BIG Crunch, LESS
Crumble™". All flavors are now developed under a new
baking technology that yields a stronger, more dippable chip—which
is also less likely to break in the bag— it's "The Chip Made to
Dip!™". Qualitative research from B&G Foods
shows that consumers enjoy a better crunch and superior texture
with the new pita chip, which rivals top competitors.
New York Style Pita Chips are twice baked,
never fried and they're great on their own or paired with toppings,
dips and spreads, providing a delectable appetizer in a
New York minute. The full
portfolio of tasty pita chips includes:
- New York Style Ancient Grains & Flaxseed Pita Chips
— Made with a delicious blend of ancient grains including millet,
amaranth, buckwheat and black sesame, plus flaxseeds and a touch of
sea salt
- New York Style Chia Seeds
& Quinoa Pita Chips — Hearty chia seeds and quinoa with a pinch

- New York Style Sea Salt Pita Chips — Classic crunch with

The new and updated New York Style Pita Chips will
