Launching into Giant Eagle stores is Southern Recipe Small Batch’s Sea Salt & Cracked Black Pepper, Korean Kimchi BBQ, Spicy Dill and Pineapple Ancho Chile flavors. The authentic recipe for Southern Recipe Small Batch pork rinds attains the texture and genuine small batch flavor consumers crave, with a fraction of the guilt. By popping each rind in heart-healthy sunflower oil and dusting it with bold spices and flavor blends, every four ounce bag of pork rinds offers a snack with the taste of indulgence and eight grams of protein.

“We are excited to share our authentic, better-for-you pork rinds with our consumers East of the Mississippi,” shares Mark Singleton, VP of Marketing at Rudolph Foods. “Our different kind of rind has continued to excite consumers in the South. Now, we’re making this authentic, innovative-flavored snack more accessible in the Midwest. We’re excited to offer clean ingredients that are just naturally better-for-you to Giant Eagle customers.”

Southern Recipe Small Batch’s expansion speaks to the selective consumer, those currently driving food trends. Because such shoppers as those who frequent Harris Teeter markets are keenly focused on the statement their food is making, they are constantly searching for brands that speak to their values. Foods denoted as “small batch” suggest the product is made with care, attention and skill. This ultimately puts the power back into the consumer’s hands, as it gives them a reason to trust the brand. Southern Recipe Small Batch does just this, with an innovative approach to producing the favored snack of the South, the pork rind, with intentional ingredients and processes.
