SAN FRANCISCO, CA – FEBRUARY 19, 2026 – SPI West Port, the creators of ALO Drink—the #1 aloe vera beverage brand in the U.S. and Canada—will be announcing significantly expanded retail distribution for its recently relaunched Woodridge Snacks subsidiary as well as introducing new 24-count box displays for the brand's popular line of Mango Fruit Rolls during Expo West, taking place March 3-6 at the Anaheim Convention Center in Southern California. 

Woodridge Snacks will be displaying its entire line of premium-quality, all-natural vegan snacks in Booth #522. 

Expertly crafted to meet the growing desire among consumers and retailers alike for boldly adventurous and culturally authentic international products that are every bit as wholesome as they are delicious, all affordably-priced Woodridge Snacks products are vegan, sustainably sourced, non-GMO, low-calorie, and free of artificial flavors, colors, or preservatives. 

Award-Winning Global Snacks Brand Now Expanding in U.S. Natural Channel 

In major distribution news for the brand coinciding with Expo West, Woodridge Snacks is now available in Fresh Market stores and in hundreds of INFRA natural food retailers across the country. Woodridge Snacks has also secured distribution with UNFI East and West and with KeHe, a national distributor for grocery stores, supermarkets, and online vendors. 

In addition, Woodridge Snacks are now also available for B2B purchase through Faire as well as for B2C purchase on Amazon. During Expo West, Woodridge Snacks will also be introducing retailers and distributors to its brand new 24-count display box for the brand's popular recent product entry, Mango Fruit Rolls. Mango Fruit Rolls offer a tasty passport to the Mekong Delta region of Vietnam, where mouth-watering ripe mangos are harvested and then rolled in a wood-fired oven and baked with sticky rice chapati flatbread. 

The result is a sweet, slightly crispy and chewy snack containing over 82% real mango fruit that blends tropical freshness with the comforting warmth of homemade goodness. Back Better Than Ever! The relaunch of Woodridge Snacks last fall was highlighted by the introduction of four delectably nutritious product lines that allow American consumers to explore the uniquely appealing flavors of lands far away without leaving the comfort of home. 

Since then, the company has not only added Mango Fruit Rolls to its family of products, but has introduced Yuzu Zest Tempura-Style Veggie Mix as well. Bursting with bold, refreshing flavor and featuring real zucchini, eggplant, and onions lightly coated in gluten-free rice flour—light and airy Japanese tempura style—Japanese Yuzu Zest Tempura-Style Veggie Mix products are gently vacuum-fried to preserve the delicate crispness and garden-fresh taste of their all-natural ingredients. 

Other recently introduced Woodridge Snacks products include Vacuum-Fried Brussels Sprouts with Sticky Rice Chips, a flavor-rich treat seasoned with Thai chili sauce that was named a finalist for Most Innovative New Product at last year's Sweets & Snacks trade show; and Mediterranean Mix, a colorful blend of vacuum-fried eggplants, sweet peppers, zucchinis, and onions combined with Thai sticky rice chips and seasoned with Mediterranean-inspired spices. 

The new items are the latest additions to a rapidly growing line of premium-quality, internationally themed Woodridge Snacks products that also includes Tempura Seaweed Chips, real umami seaweed coated in light tempura batter and seasoned with either simple sea salt or a sweet and mildly spicy sriracha blend; Sticky Rice Chips, handmade chips featuring whole grain, Japanese-style mochi sticky rice harvested from sustainable farms in Thailand; and Mochi Rice Nuggets, offered in Teriyaki or Tom Yum flavors and made with short grain, slightly sweet white rice baked to a crisp. Woodridge Snacks veggie snacks are offered in both resealable grocery-size stand-up pouches and single-serve bags—ideal for on-the-go snacking or foodservice settings. 

Woodridge Snacks' grocery bags are sold at an MSRP ranging from $3.79 to $4.29, and single-serve packages sell for between $0.99 and $1.99. 

Commented SPI West Port founder and CEO Henry Chen and company executive vice president Brian Choi, "We're very excited to be showcasing our expanded distribution and growing line of products during this year's Expo West and are extremely gratified by the overwhelmingly positive responses we have received from industry members and consumers since our relaunch late last year. Inspired by the globalization of regional foods and the eclectic fusion cuisines that have united different cultures throughout history, Woodridge Snacks will continue to search for the very best ingredients throughout the world as we expand our line over the coming months and beyond."
