Keep your eyes peeled for these new products!
With food and product expos back in full swing, we’re here to keep you updated on what’s hot and new on the vegan scene! Earlier this week, we attended the 2022 Winter Fancy Food Show in Las Vegas and got a sneak peek at some buzzworthy products that just launched or are about to launch very soon. Without further ado, here’s a list of 31 new vegan products we discovered at the Winter Fancy Food Show.
Gluten-Free Unicorn Cupcake Kit
LillyBean by PastryBase
The most adorable product we discovered at Winter Fancy Food Fest was by far this Gluten-Free Unicorn Cupcake Kit! It comes with nearly everything you need to make cupcakes—cake mix, buttercream mix, vegan sprinkles, decorating sugar, cupcake liners, a piping bag, and unicorn toppers. The only things you need are oil, vegan butter, and non-dairy milk!
Organic Coconut Milk Chocolate
Hemp Love
Hemp Love just launched a new line of sustainably made, creamy organic coconut milk chocolate bars in the flavors of roasted almonds, espresso, and coconut. These bars are organic, vegan, paleo, naturally sweetened, and free from gluten, soy, palm oil, refined sugar, cane sugar, and artificial flavors.
Flavored Sparkling Water
Liquid Death
If you aren’t stocking your fridge with Liquid Death, WYD? The edgy canned water brand just released a line of flavored sparkling water in Berry It Alive, Mango Chainsaw, and Severed Lime varieties. Complete with the most epic packaging, these cans make drinking water fun.

Thrilling Foods
Still on the lookout for the perfect vegan bacon? Thrilling Foods’ Bakon Strips might be right for you! These tofu-based slices of meat are made using traditional salting and smoke curing processes.

What’s new in the plant-based milk world? Golden Wing’s barley milk! One cup contains 50% more calcium, 60% less sugar, and twice as much vitamin D3 as a cup of 2% cow’s milk. Not to mention the taste and creaminess of this milk is off the chain!

Dairy-Free Gelato
Valsoia
The food distribution company World Finer Foods brings international products to the US market—which we love! One of the brands on their roster is Valsoia, an Italian brand that makes dairy-free gelato cones and bars. So if you can’t make it overseas right now, you can at least get a taste of what it’s like!

Jelly Belly still hasn’t made vegan jelly beans but they do have jelly bean-shaped vegan gummies and chewy candy, and that’s a step in the right direction! The brand’s newest vegan launch is a chewy candy line featuring three succulent sweet and sour flavors.
Vegan Arrabbiata Sauce
Carbone Fine Food
This brand launched last March with a delicious lineup of classic Italian pasta sauce flavors. We got a chance to try their Arrabbiata sauce—and it hit the spot. Based on the recipe served at Carbone restaurants, this sauce is made from tomatoes imported from Italy, onions, garlic, basil, sea salt, olive oil, oregano, and the perfect amount of crushed red pepper flakes that will give your pasta dish a kick!
Do Bites 2-Pack
Better Bites Bakery
Better Bites Bakery’s Dō Bites are chocolate-coated cookie dough bites made from allergy-friendly ingredients. Each drool-worthy flavor is vegan and free from gluten, soy, peanuts, and tree nuts.

Vegan Almond Milk Cheese Cubes
Armored Fresh
There are plenty of vegan cheese slices and shreds on the market these days, but cheese cubes are still pretty sparse. This is why we were excited to try Armored Fresh’s vegan almond milk cheese cubes! The portfolio features plain, cheddar, and blueberry cubes that all taste just like their dairy-based counterparts. These products haven’t launched in the US yet but are expected to later this year.
Hemp-Based Meat Alternatives

With so many plant-based meats out there, it can be hard to make a selection, but for those who prioritize sustainability, Planet Based Foods has an epic lineup of hemp-based meat alternatives to check out. From burger and sausage patties to meaty crumbles, everything is made from hemp—a sustainable, regenerative ingredient that’s packed with protein.
Trayless Seaweed Snack
Ocean’s Halo
If you find yourself obsessing over Emily Mariko’s TikTok recipes and want to try them out at home, one of the first things you’ll need is seaweed! Typically, bite-sized seaweed snacks come in plastic trays, but Ocean’s Halo just released a trayless seaweed snack. It uses less plastic and takes up less space than the traditional containers, which is a win all around!

Vegan White Cheddar Crisps
Nova Crisp
It’s always sad to pick up a bag of chips and read a nutrition label loaded with palm oil, dairy, and other unnecessary ingredients. But when you pick up a bag of Nova Crisps, you’ll be delighted to read a clean nutrition label featuring cassava flour as the first ingredient. Best of all, these snacks are 100% vegan. And can we take a moment to acknowledge the fact that there’s a vegan white cheddar flavor?

Love + Chew’s protein cookies are made from minimal ingredients that are vegan, gluten-free, soy-free, paleo, and non-GMO. Now here’s the question—are you going for Banana Bread, Cherry Almond, Chocolate Chia, or Mocha Chip first?
Vegan Teriyaki Jerky
Pan’s Mushroom Jerky
Vegan jerky and mushrooms are two of the most popular trends in the plant-based world right now. So, why not combine the two? Pan’s Mushroom Jerky uses shiitake mushrooms and umami to mimic beef jerky. Their Vegan Teriyaki Jerky is one of the newest product launches. We got the chance to try a bite and it made us do a double-take!
