Annie Chun's will debut the following new products and flavors at Expo West:

• Organic Seaweed Snacks ($1.99)—Based on its best-selling Original line, these lightly seasoned, roasted sheets of nori are now USDA Certified Organic, as well as gluten-free, dairy-free and vegan. Only 30 calories per serving, Annie Chun's Organic Seaweed Snacks are available in the following varieties:
  • Sesame—lightly seasoned with sesame oil and salt
  • Wasabi—delivering a hint of authentic wasabi spice
• Korean BBQ Seaweed Crisps ($3.49)—A tasty combination of sweet, smoky and savory, Annie Chun's Korean BBQ Seaweed Crisps are made by layering our best-selling Seaweed Snacks on top of hearty and crispy brown rice chips then oven-baking them to perfection to provide a satisfying crunch.
