Conagra releases innovations at Sweets & Snacks Expo

Meat snacks, popcorn, and sweet treats headline the latest launches.

Conagra Brands, Inc. recently showcased a collection of snacks and sweets for the National Confectioners Association's 2026 Sweets & Snacks Expo. Meat snacks, sweet treats, and salty snacks comprise the company's $3.3 billion snacks portfolio, highlighted by several brands. 

David Seeds: Cracking sunflower seeds on the baseball field is a timeless ritual—one that connects generations of players and fans through shared moments of camaraderie. For many, this tradition is first learned from someone they admire: a parent, sibling, coach, or a favorite player. David Seeds is aiming to bring that legacy full circle by teaming up with baseball superstar Aaron Judge to introduce limited-edition Aaron Judge packs. Beginning in June, consumers can grab David Seeds Sweet & Spicy packs featuring the three-time league MVP.

Bigs Seeds: Bigs Sunflower Seeds is launching a new collection, Triple Blast sunflower seeds. Available in Pickle Ranch and Spicy Sweet Chili, these jumbo sunflower seeds are seasoned three times and roasted. Bigs Triple Blast Seeds will debut this fall.

Slim Jim: The brand's new offering, Cheese Mode, combines the signature snap and taste of Slim Jim with real bits of cheese inside the meat. Cheese mode will be available later this year in two flavors: Cheddar and Cheddar & Jalapeno.

The partnership between Slim Jim and Buffalo Wild Wings, with a growing off-premise business through Buffalo Wild Wings Go, has expanded with a new flavor. After debuting Buffalo style and Hot chicken sticks last year, Slim Jim is launching a new Honey BBQ flavor. Each stick is inspired by the wing flavors from the chain.

Fatty: Made with grass-fed beef and pork raised with no antibiotics, Fatty Smoked Meat Sticks are the bigger, more tender, meatier stick for people seeking a premium protein snack on the go. Top flavors include Original, Jalapeno, Honey BBQ, and Teriyaki, with 1-oz, 2-oz, and 3-oz sticks available.

Duke's: Duke's Smoked Shorty Sausages offer a smoked, handcrafted meat snack experience. Duke's premium, homemade flavor comes from seasoning and marinating fresh pork using whole, roasted, and diced ingredients from farms, not just dried spices. A new Maple Black Pepper flavor will debut later this year. Other top flavors are Original, Hot & Spicy, and Hatch Green Chile. Sizes include 2.5-oz, 5-oz, 7.5-oz, 12-oz, and 16-oz bags in select flavors.

Americans are looking to close the fiber gap; the average American consumes 15 g of fiber per day, just half the daily recommended intake. Popcorn is a suitable way to add fiber to your diet, the company says, and Conagra offers a range of options including kernels, microwave popcorn, and ready-to-eat favorites.

Act II: Act II is releasing Act II Max Blast Extra Butter Microwave Popcorn. This indulgent popcorn offering aims to bring a rich, movie theater butter experience home, with a pourable buttery topping packet for customizing consumers' bowls. The new Act II Max Blast Extra Butter Microwave Popcorn will arrive in stores in late September with an SRP of $3.89 for a box of four bags.

Vlasic: Pickle-flavored snacks drove $518 million in sales last year, up 39% from the previous year. Conagra's Vlasic Dill Pickle Popcorn, will debut in 4-oz bags this fall. The gluten-free snack is 100 calories per serving with no artificial colors.

Angie's Boomchickapop: Angie's Boomchickapop is serving up a pair of sweet flavors in ready-to-eat popcorn—Mango Habanero and Cinnamon Churro. For those craving a "swicy" snack, Mango Habanero offers a fusion of hot and sweet seasonings, layered atop Angie's Sweet & Salty Kettle base. Cinnamon Churro is inspired by the sweet treat, blending flavors of cinnamon with a hint of golden churro dough. Both flavors are available in 6-oz bags for a suggested retail price of $3.99.
