One of the most anticipated features of SNAXPO 2023 (taking place in Orlando, FL March 19–21) is the Flavor Showdown competition. Hosted by Snack Food & Wholesale Bakery, the event (formerly known as the Flavor Pavilion) invites flavor companies to show off their wares for a chance at glory.
“The Flavor Showdown is an opportunity for SNAXPO’s leading flavor/seasoning suppliers to showcase their most inventive, on-trend flavors to the broader industry,” says David Walsh, vice president of membership and communications, SNAC International. “Each participant is allowed to enter two flavors—one savory, and one sweet—served on a snack ‘base’ (i.e. popcorn, tortilla chip, chocolate) of their choice. Attendees sample the flavors, vote for their favorite, and the SNAXPO Flavor of the Year Award is presented by SF&WB on Tuesday, March 21 at the SNAXPO Closing Party.”
