CHUZA, a Mexican-owned, minority-certified snack brand known for its chili-dusted dried fruit snacks,  expanded its product portfolio with the launch of a new Trail Mix line. Three varieties of trail mixes are available in select Whole Foods Market locations.

Whole Foods Market has been an early champion of CHUZA, supporting the brand's mission to bring authentic Mexican flavors to US shoppers. This latest rollout continues that support, bringing CHUZA's bold, sweet-meets-spicy blends to even more snack aisles. Each mix combines sweet, spicy and savory flavors rooted in Mexico's vibrant culinary traditions, layering naturally dried fruits, roasted nuts, seeds and CHUZA's signature chili seasoning for a taste experience.

Available at select Whole Foods Market stores and via CHUZA.com, the three new varieties include:

- Clásico Trail Mix: A harmonious blend of dried cranberries, roasted peanuts, cashews and crunchy almonds.
- Barrio Mix: CHUZA's take on the traditional bar mix, packed with roasted peanuts, crispy sesame chips, crunchy corn sticks, hearty corn nuts, almonds and pepitas.
- Tropical Trail Mix: A tropical-inspired blend featuring roasted peanuts, buttery almonds, crispy sesame chips, crunchy cashews, golden corn nuts and juicy dried pineapple.

The brand blends real dried fruit, including mango, pineapple, and strawberry, with custom chili blends developed in collaboration with a second-generation, Mexico-based spice manufacturer. The Whole Foods Market rollout marks another step in CHUZA's mission to make Mexican flavors a core part of the US snacking landscape.
