While about 15,000 new food products are introduced each year, the failure rate can be as high as 90%. The average time spent on developing new food products is about two years, which is why many larger companies rely on a product development team that includes scientists, food engineers and marketing experts. New introductions include new products, new flavors, new package sizes, and even new varieties of existing items. Unfortunately, some of the highest rated products are also limited-time products. Occasionally, companies will take queues from consumers and bring a limited-time item onto the full-time menu, but it’s rare. Here are some of the new products that have been announced:
 |
| Corn Nuts has just announced a new snack line called Partially Popped, combining the light, airy consistency of popcorn with the classic crunch of corn kernels. This latest snack innovation comes in three crave-worthy flavors: White Cheddar, Movie Theater Butter, and Kickin’ Cheddar. The Partially Popped additions come in 3-ounce packs and retail for between $1.99 and $2.49. You can find them at 7-Eleven, Speedway and Circle K locations. |

| Two legendary condiment brands are collaborating for the first time ever. Marzetti and Tabasco Brand have teamed up to create a spicy ranch dressing. Found in the produce aisle, Marzetti Spicy Ranch Seasoned with Tabasco Sauce is made with quality ingredients, no preservatives, and no artificial flavors. Balancing the creaminess of Marzetti’s signature dressing with the heat of Tabasco Sauce, this new product can top pizza, wings, fries, salads, burgers, tacos, and more. Marzetti Spicy Ranch Seasoned with Tabasco Sauce is available at Kroger nationwide now, with availability at Walmart and other local grocery stores this month. |

| Nutella Peanut is coming, and it’s the brand’s first-ever flavor flip. Ferrero is introducing a new flavor that blends the classic cocoa hazelnut with roasted peanuts. According to Ferrero, it took five years to develop Nutella Peanut, which has them betting that it will add to the brand’s growing popularity. Nutella peanut will go great on crackers, with desserts, or atop waffles. The downside……you have to wait until Spring 2026. The upside…….it won’t be a limited-time product, but will join Ferrero’s lineup permanently. |

| Texas Roadhouse fans, prepare to dip into something iconic. The steakhouse chain’s legendary appetizers just got made into dips. The new dips come in three flavors: Cactus Blossom Dip (fried onion meets tangy, zesty Blossom sauce), Rattlesnake bites Dip (spicy jalapeño, cheddar, and bell peppers), and Fried Pickle Dip (the crunch and tang of fried pickles in scoopable form). The new dips are now available at Walmart. |

| Coffee Mate has loosened the chokehold on dirty soda — a beverage that combines soda with cream, often flavored syrups, and other ingredients like fruit purees or juices — with a new Orange Crème Pop-flavored creamer, built specifically to satisfy those fizzy, creamy, soda shop cravings. Think citrusy soda meets creamsicle. It’s designed to be mixed with cola, sparkling water, or whatever base you’re sipping these days. You can find the Coffee Mate Dirty Soda Orange Crème Pop creamer starting in June at Target, Kroger, and select retailers nationwide for a limited time. Each 28 oz. bottle will run you about $4.49, depending on where you shop. |
