Specialty food companies attending the Summer Fancy Food Show at New York City’s Javits Center June 23-25 are launching indulgent products and innovations in the ice cream, novelty, and snack categories that integrate unique flavors while incorporating better-for-you ingredients. These products offer consumers a guilt-free treat as a pick-me-up during the day, or a sweet end to the evening.

Taylor Pass Honey Co will be launching Mānuka Honey Pops & Drops, two formats leveraging fully traceable Mānuka honey from New Zealand. The B Corp Certified brand emphasizes the unique nature of the honey it sources.

“This honey is a true expression of the environment in which it is produced, carrying the unique special signature compounds that make it so highly prized throughout the world,” said Taylor Pass Honey on its website.

In addition to its signature flavor, the brand emphasizes how the honey can promote digestive and immune system health, soothe sore throats, and more. Additional product information will be available at Booth #5149.

Each flavor is made with a blend of better-for-you ingredients, including cottage cheese, collagen, and farm-fresh dairy, providing a nutritious protein-packed treat, said Smearcase.

"Making our debut at the Summer Fancy Food Show is a significant milestone for Smearcase," said Joe, founder and CEO of Smearcase, in a statement. "We're thrilled to introduce our innovative ice cream to retail buyers and industry professionals, and we believe our unique approach to high-protein, low-fat ice cream will resonate with health-conscious consumers and ice cream lovers alike."
