Simple Mills' new whole-food Veggie Pita Crackers are anchored by a unique sweet potato/parsnip/celery root blend that delivers the nutrients of one-third of a serving of sweet potato in just nine crackers.

Launches grew at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of less than 1% from 2014 to 2018, per the Innova Market Insights database. Unfortunately, last year's tally will not advance the cause. Yet plenty was happening if you knew where to look.

The board includes brand favorites Columbus® Italian dry salami and Columbus Calabrese salami plus specially selected aged white cheddar cheese, premium chocolate-covered cranberries, Castelvetrano olives and La Panzanella multigrain crackers.

Featuring flavors, including fruits and vegetables such as blueberries, beets, sweet potatoes and lightly spicy green chiles, Angelic Bakehouse 7 Sprouted Whole Grains Crisps provide 4g of protein and 3g of fiber per serving.

The new line of REAL Thin Crackers will be available at multiple grocers including Loblaws and Save On Foods, and will offer multiple flavors, such as Sea Salt and Garlic Rosemary.

Growing worries about the health effects of sugar and carbohydrates are pushing bakery food companies in new directions.

Nutmeg & Cinnamon Triscuits will be available in November.
