Attendees at the Conagra Brands booth will get a first look at some bold new offerings, including the following:

Slim Jim

Weighing in at 3 oz., the meaty wallop of Slim Jim Savage has been a category sensation. With more than USD 30MM in sales, Slim Jim Savage is the #1 innovation in all the meat snacks over the last three years.

Now things are about to get even hotter as a new Spicy flavor joins the Savage collection that includes Original and the recently-released Mild.
  The classic combo of meat and cheese also has a bold new Slim Jim format with the debut of the Slim Jim Original 'n Cheese Big Boss. Real cheese is paired with the #1 selling SKU in all of the meat snacks, the Slim Jim Original Giant stick, for an offering that delivers 13g of protein per pack.

The NACS Show will also showcase Conagra's full meat snacks portfolio, which includes Duke's, America's #1 premium meat snack, Big Mama pickled sausage, the #1 pickled meat snack, and Gardein, which offers the top-selling plant-based jerky in the convenience channel.

BiGS Sunflower Seeds

BiGS, the #1 flavored seed brand, is partnering with top pizza chain Little Caesars® to bring their world-famous ExtraMostBestest® Pepperoni Pizza to in-shell sunflower seeds. These BiGS Little Caesars seeds emulate the meaty, cheesy, saucy deliciousness you can only get when the PIZZA! PIZZA! experts at Little Caesars join forces with the big flavor experts at BiGS.
  In addition to BiGS, Conagra is also home to DAVID Sunflower Seeds, America's #1 seed brand,5 bringing a unique 1-2 punch to retailers and consumers of sunflower seeds.

ACT II

ACT II, the top-selling value brand of microwave popcorn, is entering the ready-to-eat popcorn category with the flavor popcorn lovers crave most – Butter. New 1.7 oz. bags of ACT II Butter Lovers ready-to-eat popcorn are a satisfying snack that can be enjoyed on the go or while enjoying your favorite movie.

Andy Capp's

Long known for bringing the heat with iconic Hot Fries, Andy Capp's is adding some sizzle to bagged onion rings with the arrival of Andy Capp's Hot Beer Battered Onion Rings. These 2 ozs. bags complement the original flavor of Andy Capp's Beer Battered Onion Rings that were introduced last year.
