Snacks covers the between-meals, impulse and on-the-go products that anchor front-of-store and checkout merchandising. It spans savoury and sweet formats, from fried and baked salty snacks to bars, nuts, dried fruit and confectionery-adjacent treats, usually in single-serve or multipack sizes built for grab-and-go consumption. For wholesale and export buyers, snacks are a high-velocity, high-margin part of the assortment: shelf-stable, easy to ship, and driven by novelty, flavour trends and better-for-you positioning. Sourcing considerations are mostly about shelf life, packaging integrity and how well a format travels, since crushable or oil-rich products need protective packaging for long transit. Nutritional and allergen labelling rules vary by destination, and claims like high-protein or gluten-free are regulated differently across markets. Buyers building a snack programme typically mix subcategories to cover every daypart and shopper - Chips, Pretzels, Popcorn, Crackers and Puffed Snacks for savoury; Protein Bars, Granola Bars, Fruit Bars and Snack Bars for functional; plus Nuts, Dried Fruit, Trail Mix, Jerky, Seaweed Snacks, Fruit Snacks and Variety Packs.
