As the demand for spicy snacks grows, America's favorite ready-to-eat popcorn brand (2015 retail sales data from Information Resources, Inc) has answered the call with the launch of Smartfood Spicy Jalapeño Ranch Popcorn. The all-new popcorn flavor combines the spice from jalapenos with a cool and creamy finish for an unforgettable taste. With 100 percent whole grains, a light and airy crunch and just the right amount of heat, this popcorn will be a snacking staple for spice lovers everywhere.

Recognizing this growing trend for more vibrant flavors and ingredients, the Smartfood team developed Spicy Jalapeño Ranch to offer consumers a bold and versatile flavor with a kick. Those newly exploring their palette's tolerance for spice need not worry - every kernel perfectly pairs the heat of jalapeños with the rich zesty flavor of ranch.
