Review: Snack Factory Pretzel Crisps

Hello, welcome to another installment of newer items out on the market, as tested at the Food and Nutrition Conference and Expo in Philadelphia, PA.

Product Tested

Snack Factory’s Pretzel Crisps Original Flavor

Here is the Nutritional Value for Original Flavor

They claim to have the crunch of the outside of the pretzel, with only 110 cal/serving, no trans fat, and no saturated fat (original and garlic flavored are fat free)

Range of flavors

Original, Everything (sesame seeds, poppy seeds, onion and garlic), Garlic, Honey Mustard and Onion, and Buffalo Wing

Initial Thoughts

I thought they were good, but I like pretzels for their whole flavor (the pretzel crisp only tastes like the outside of the pretzel; and I like the inside part too!). However, I think they would be great to serve with chocolate, cheese, peanut butter, hummus, and other yummy spreads for a low calorie, and moderately low sodium treat (depending on the flavor). After all, the sodium content ranges from 170 mg/serving (everything flavor) to 540 mg/serving (buffalo wing flavor). An average limit on a 2000 calorie diet is about 2300 mg per day, so be careful about your intake!

Overall Rating

On a scale of 1 to 10 (1 being “gross, take it off the market” to 10 being “yum! Can I get stock in this company?”), I would give it an 8 out of 10. I would buy these for a party and dress them up with a dipping sauce. Also, they are a good, low calorie snack, but only the original and everything flavors would be appropriate for someone who needs a low sodium diet (someone with high blood pressure, renal disease, heart disease, for example).
