Southern Recipe Small Batch's new flavors

February 26, 2026

Southern Recipe Small Batch, a small-batch pork rind snack brand, announces three new flavors debuting at Expo West: Air-Fried Buffalo Wing and Air-Fried Pizza, and a pimento cheese cooked in lard, added to the traditional line. The new varieties will sell for an SRP of $3.99 and can be found on PorkRinds.com in late spring 2026, with additional retailers to follow.

Air Fried Pork Rinds are a clear representation of where the snack food aisle is headed with flavor variety and product differentiation. These new pork rind flavors are inspired by the comfort-food tastes today’s snackers like while still delivering the better-for-you benefits Southern Recipe Small Batch is known for.

“Through flavor innovation like Air-Fried Buffalo Wing and Pizza, we’re proud to bring on-trend flavors to pork rinds, while meeting consumers’ changing needs for low carb, protein-packed snacks that are still lower in sodium and sugar,” said Mark Singleton, VP of sales and marketing at Rudolph Foods. "Pimento cheese will be the first flavor in this line fried in lard and not sunflower oil, staying in step with consumer demand for removing seed oil as an ingredient. We’re not just introducing another snack to retailer shelves, we're elevating the perception of the humble pork rind, once again, getting more people to eat more pork rinds in more places."

Southern Recipe Small Batch’s newest flavors are a testament to innovation. By diversifying its offering with flavors that echo foodie favorites and Southern staples, the brand continues to help consumers renew their love for pork rinds and become a go-to choice for snack food lovers everywhere.

The Air-Fried Pizza flavor was created in honor of The Archer Foundation, a charity partner for Rudolph Foods’ Crunch Time Hero of the Week campaign. Archer, the charity’s namesake, lost his life to DIPG at six years old, and pizza was one of his favorite foods. His battle, his courage and his joy for life inspired his family to carry on his legacy through the Archer Foundation. Their vision is a world where no family has to suffer the pain of losing a child to DIPG/DMG, where innovative research leads to effective treatments, better prognoses and ultimately, a cure for the disease.

    The U.S. pork industry has had a 100 percent legislative checkoff program since 1986. Congress created the Pork Checkoff as part of The Pork Promotion, Research and Consumer Information Act of 1985. Pork producers had requested the legislation so they could take advantage of having all producers and importers participate in a checkoff program designed to strengthen the position of pork in the marketplace.
