Specialty Food Association

Popadelics reimagine shiitake mushrooms for the modern superfood snacker.

NEW YORK, June 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Popadelics Crunchy Mushroom Chips is making its trade debut as an exhibitor at the 2022 Summer Fancy Food Show, June 12-14, located at the Jacob K. Javits Center in New York, NY. Popadelics will be showcasing all three of its bold, mouth-watering flavors – Trippin’ Truffle Parm, Twisted Thai Chili, and Rad Rosemary and Salt – in Booth 7533.

The largest East Coast B2B-only specialty food industry show, the 2022 Summer Fancy Food Show will feature specialty foods and beverages from around the world and host over 10,000 industry attendees.

Attendees will be able to sample Popadelics Crunchy Mushroom Chips as well as participate in giveaways and meet the founders. To produce its signature crunch, Popadelics leverage a unique cooking method called vacuum frying, which allows foods to cook at much lower temperatures while absorbing less oil and retaining more of their color, nutrients, texture, and flavor. Popadelics are also vegan and a good source of protein and fiber.

Popadelics soft-launched in February 2022 and was recently honored as a finalist in the 2022 Dieline Awards in the Savory Snacks category, having been chosen from over 1,700 entries hailing from 36 countries. Popadelics will also be attending this year’s NOSH Live Summer 2022 event on June 12-13 at the Metropolitan Pavilion in New York, NY.

“Our goal is to revolutionize the way people think about mushrooms,” said Marilyn Yang, Co-Founder and CEO of Fun-Gal Snacks, the parent company of Popadelics. “We can’t wait for attendees to experience the trippin’ flavor and killer crunch of Popadelics Crunchy Mushroom Chips.”

Presented by the Specialty Food Association, the 2022 Summer Fancy Food Show is a trade-only event. Visit Popadelics in Booth 7533. To register, please visit specialtyfood.com.
