New dips and spreads are making their way to retail.
Hummus company Sabra is adding two plant-based garlic spreads that are making their way to Target locations. The dips, which are available in spicy harissa and roasted garlic varieties, are inspired by traditional Mediterranean flavors and contain no dairy or artificial preservatives.
The plant-based white dips are the latest products to join Sabra’s lineup, after the company added three flavors, including a Frank’s RedHot Buffalo hummus, last month.
Plant-based dairy brand Miyoko’s Creamery has debuted a line of cheese spreads formulated from cashew milk.
The spreads are made using traditional cheesemaking techniques and are kosher, certified organic and free from soy, palm oil and gluten. Miyoko’s product can act as a flexible topping option for various snacks, an alternative dairy ingredient to blend into sauces or an easy flavor enhancement for homecooked meals, according to the company.
Sour cream and cottage cheese brand Daisy debuted sour cream dips, an offering that features a blend of herbs and spices and the brand’s sour cream. They are available in two flavors: French onion, which has a caramelly-toasted onion and garlic flavor, and creamy ranch, which features a blend of spices and garlic.
Teton Waters Ranch is expanding its line of grass-fed beef products with the launch of Teton Taste Buds. The products feature a blend of vegetables and grass-fed beef to add a twist to products like hot dogs, mini corn dogs, meatballs and burgers.

Mars added to its M&M’s brand with the introduction of M&M’s peanut butter minis. The fun-sized candies are available in two sizes: a 1.74-oz tube and an 8.6-oz stand-up pouch.
“Peanut butter is one of the fastest growing candy profiles from Mars, and what better way to deliver on fans' desire for that flavor than adding it to one of the most iconic Mars products: M&M's Minis,” said Courtney McHugh, vice president of marketing at M&M’s. “M&M’s is all about inspiring colorful fun and expanding our M&M’s Minis portfolio helps us do just that.”
Diamond of California is adding two fall-inspired flavors to its line of specialty nuts. The pumpkin pie spice snack walnuts feature a blend of warm spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, allspice and clove. The pecan pie snack pecans are roasted and lightly glazed, featuring a sweet and buttery flavor.
“As we looked to expand our snack line with iconic flavors, we were inspired by two of our most popular fall recipes: pumpkin pie and pecan pie,” said Craig Tokusato, chief marketing officer of Diamond of California. “Both of the signature holiday pie recipes complement our walnuts and pecans and make for a festive and delicious ready-to-eat snack. There is a certain magical feeling about fall and we wanted to encapsulate that in these two new snack nut flavors. We know these new straight-from-the-bag fall-inspired flavors will spice up snack time.”
