Snyder's of Hanover, a snack food distribution company, has launched new pretzel packaging for Organic Pretzel Sticks. The snack company said that these pretzels come in renewable bags from 90% plant-based materials.

Snyder’s Organic Pretzel Stick line, includes Organic 8 Grains & Seeds, Whole Wheat & Oat Bran and Honey Whole Wheat, which are available in three varieties in the new renewable packaging throughout the US for Earth Day, April 22. These will be sold for a suggested retail price of $2.99 for an 8oz bag.

The company claims that the package was created from a renewable material called Earth Clear developed by Clear Lam Packaging, from Ingeo, a plant-based bioplastic which enables the bag to function without the dependency on petroleum-based products.

Claude O’Connor, vice president of marketing at Snyder’s of Hanover, said: It was important that we selected a product that complements the new renewable packaging and our line of Organic Pretzel Sticks was a natural fit.

“Not only are they an excellent source of whole grains and a good source of dietary fiber, but they’re 100% certified organic. The 8 Grains & Seeds is also an excellent source of ALA Omega 3’s. It’s true product-to-packaging synergy – natural, organic pretzels in a plant-based renewable bag.
