EXPO WEST 2023 GALLERY: FROZEN FOODS CATEGORY SEES NEW INNOVATIONS FROM BRAZI
BITES, TUCSON TAMALE AND MORE

At last week’s Natural Products Expo West, innovations in the frozen food set
were plentiful, ranging from modern interpretations of international flavors to
plant-based breakfast sandwiches to crispy appetizers. Here’s a look at some of
the notable new and recently-launched products featured at Expo West 2023.

Tucson Tamale



Tucson Tamale has moved into the snacking set with the launch of its bite-sized
tamales. The new product joins the brand’s line of salsas, hot sauces and
full-size, frozen tamales. Creating a product that had the fluffy masa texture
of a tamale but no corn husk proved tricky to develop, co-founder Todd Martin
told NOSH At launch, Tucson Tamale Bites will be available in Chipotle Chicken
Diablo and Sweet Corn & Cheese varieties.

Pitaya Foods

San Diego-based Pitaya Foods unveiled a new frozen dessert line, Sorbetter.
Available in four varieties – Passion Fruit, Coconut, Acai Berry and Dragon
Fruit – the sorbet comes in individual pints. Meanwhile, the frozen food company
also launched 12 oz bags of new “Snack-Sized” Pieces in Immunity (Dragon Fruit +
Passion Fruit + Mango) and precooked Plantain varieties.

Brazi Bites

Latin-inspired frozen snack maker Brazi Bites expanded its lineup of frozen
cheese bread bites with the addition of a new Everything flavor. As its name
suggests, the gluten-free, soy-free offering coats the brand’s classic cheese
bread in everything seasoning. Each 11.5 oz. bag contains 18 cheese bread bites.
In conjunction with the launch of Everything Brazi Bites, the brand is rolling
out revamped packaging across its entire portfolio that features a smaller logo,
clearer product illustrations and more prominent product names.

Alexia

Conagra-owned Alexia unveiled the newest addition to its line of vegetable side
dishes, Cauliflower & Broccoli Au Gratin with Red Chili Flakes. The new
gluten-free offering, which contains 140 calories per ½ cup serving, joins the
brand’s other vegetable sides including Loaded Cauliflower, Mexican-Style Street
Corn, Mashed Butternut Squash with Brown Sugar and Mashed Cauliflower with Sea
Salt, among others.

Feel Good Foods

Gluten-free frozen appetizer and meal brand Feel Good Foods showcased two new
products: Fried Pickles and Crispy Jalapeño bites. They join the brand’s
portfolio, which spans across various categories such as breakfast, pizza,
snacks and calzones.

Milton’s

Milton’s Craft Bakers added a new flavor to its lineup of cauliflower crust
frozen pizzas: Grilled Chicken & Garlic. The new gluten-free variety features
white chicken meat, mozzarella cheese and “zesty” red pepper sauce. Grilled
Chicken & Garlic joins the brand’s four other cauliflower crust pizzas,
including Uncured Pepperoni, Margherita Four Cheese, Roasted Vegetable and Four
Cheese. The brand told NOSH it believes the pizza offers an alternative to more
traditional white or red sauce pizzas. Debuting in Midwest Costco stores in
March, the new SKU will then be sold in the club store’s Los Angeles region in
May.

Taste Republic

At the show, Taste Republic unveiled revamped packaging specifically designed
for retailers who want to sell its gluten-free pasta in the freezer aisle.
Unlike the clear, plastic, rigid packaging the brand uses for its fresh
products, the aqua-colored bag is opaque and instead features product
photography.

Daiya

Daiya also expanded its pizza offerings at the show, highlighting its new
dairy-free Chik’n Smoked Bac’n & Ranch flatbread, which utilizes plant-based
chicken proteins. The brand first launched its line of plant-based,
allergen-friendly flatbreads in September with Mushroom, Caramelized Onion &
Fig, Tomato, Sunflower Seed Pesto & Arugula and Meatless Italian Sausage Style
Crumbles, Roasted Pepper and Kale varieties.

Jack & Annie’s

Meat-alternative brand Jack & Annie’s unveiled three new product innovations:
Plant-Based Sausage Wrap with Real Egg & Cheese, Plant-Based Sausage Sandwich
with Real Egg and Cheese and Plant-Based Sandwich with Real Cheese, Egg and
Spinach. Like the rest of the brand’s portfolio, the new products feature
plant-based meat made from jackfruit. However, the line is notable for its use
of animal-based ingredients as well as alt-meats, with many other vegetarian or
flexitarian products choosing to only use plant-based proteins. The new addition
comes on the heels of the brand’s collaboration with Smashburger to trial a
plant-based burger on the restaurant chain’s menu for a limited time.

Veggies Made Great

Veggies Made Great expanded its baked goods offerings with the launch of its
frozen Homestyle Cornbread and Jalapeño Cornbread. The former contains 140
calories per serving while the latter has 130 calories per serving. Each 12 oz.
box comes with six individually wrapped cornbreads and joins a lineup of
products that also includes mini muffins and frittatas, egg bites and veggie
bites.
