What is Year of the Crunch?
The 90-year-old food industry publication states, “adding texture to meals and snacks will be crucial for brands hoping to keep consumers engaged in an increasingly saturated snacking market.” They continue with, “new takes on chili crisp toppings and crunch-forward seasonings are also making their way into everything from roasted vegetables to desserts.”
What is Kagome’s Crunch Seal?
Crunch Seal is Kagome’s proprietary, custom oil-based sauces line, that delivers flavor and keeps fried dishes such as chicken wings or chicken sandwiches crunchy, crispy, and craveable. Currently, this product is only produced at our facility in Osceola, Arkansas. Due to the popularity of this product, we will be expanding our manufacturing capacity by adding a new line to our Los Banos, California facility.
