B&G Foods Brings Alcohol To The Grill
As consumers light up the grill with their favorite alcoholic beverages this summer, B&G Foods has developed a new way to bring the flavors of barbecue and popular adult beverages closer together.
The makers of Green Giant and Cream of Wheat launch three new Weber Seasoning Blends inspired by the Sazerac Company’s most popular spirit flavors. These flavors include Fireball Cinnamon Whiskey, Buffalo Trace Bourbon, and Southern Comfort Whiskey. Each seasoning blend is non-alcoholic and crafted to replicate the iconic flavor of each spirit brand.
The product will be available at Kroger stores later this month. The Buffalo Trace will be available at Sam’s Club in September.
“We are constantly looking for new ways to enhance the consumer’s culinary experience by offering condiment flavors that are both completely unique and approachable,” said Senior Marketing Director, Spice and Flavor Solutions, B&G Foods. Virginia Jordan said. said in a statement.
Seasonings allow B&G to tap into two brands that are synonymous with their respective industries: Sazerac for alcohol and Weber for grills. In a congested category of spices and condiments, these brands allow B&G to attract consumers’ attention and at least to try out new products.
For Sazerac, this allowed the public to step away from traditional cocktails and enjoy the flavors of their favorite spirits, pushing brands such as Southern Comfort into new non-alcoholic categories.
B&G’s diverse portfolio includes several other well-known seasoning brands such as Durkee, Spice Islands and Mrs. Dash. In recent years, however, it has leveraged the brand assets of other manufacturers.
The New Jersey-based company previously partnered with General Mills and Mars Wrigley to roll out Cinnamon Toast Crunch and Twix Shakers, respectively. And earlier this year, we worked with the Girl Scouts to develop a thin mint seasoning blend made up of dark cocoa, mint flavor and fine crumble to mimic the flavor of the popular cookie.

Dalci, a brand of healthy plant-based blondies and brownies, has jumped on the fall flavor craze with the launch of Pumpkin Spice Blondies.

The beginning of the Dalci brand dates back to 2020. It was then that founder Najwa Khan was frustrated with the “pretty” or lack thereof ready-made desserts on the market and made his own.
The brownie brand also claims that their products are “gut health” friendly. This is another food trend that has resulted in many consumer products adding postbiotics to their ingredient list.
After the soft launch of Dalic, it will be available in specialty retailers in November 2020. Other flavors include dark chocolate, almond butter, lemon coconut and apple spice.
