Herr Foods is stocking store shelves with 22-oz. bags of pretzels with Easy Snap closures, the first application of a reclosable bag for salty snacks.
The Nottingham, Pa., snack maker is the second food processor to employ the
closure, an alternative to transverse zipper systems for vertical form/fill/seal
equipment. Cambridge, Mass.-based New England Confectionery Co. began applying
Easy Snap to bags of Necco mints last year.
