Stacy’s adds Pretzel Thins to snacks line
Stacy’s brand introduced Stacy’s Pretzel Thins – a new line of baked snacks that combine a classic pretzel flavor with a thin, crispy texture. Available in Simply Naked and Honey Dijon varieties, Stacy’s Pretzel Thins are made with sea salt and organic honey, and contain no artificial colors or flavors.
Both varieties use expeller pressed sunflower oil, which contains 0g trans fat. (Indeed, though the FDA extended the comment period for its review on the GRAS status of partially hydrogenated oils to March 8, food and beverage companies have been phasing out trans fats since the early 2000s, meaning the market is already well-versed in the available alternatives.

Both lines are currently available in 7-oz bags ($3.99 suggested retail) in the deli section of grocery stores nationwide.
“The Stacy’s brand prides itself on making unique, high-quality ‘anytime’ snacks that consumers can enjoy on its own or pair with their favorite dips and spreads,” said Dave Skena, vice president of marketing, Frito-Lay. “Our new line of Stacy’s Pretzel Thins is of the highest quality and delivers great taste as a result. The uncompromising approach to quality may be the harder way but it's the better way.”
