Lehi Valley Trading Co. has launched Snackworthy, a new line of better-for-you snacks targeted towards Millennials. Snackworthy’s variety of items includes nuts and seeds, dried fruit, candy, chocolate, popcorn, granola and trail mix.

Lehi Valley Trading Co., an Arizona snack food manufacturer whose customers include Fry’s, Whole Foods and Bashas’, conducted research on Millennial values, purchasing behaviors and snacking inclinations to develop a line of snack foods that resonate with this generation.

Snackworthy offers a unique snacking experience to fill that gap in the marketplace.”
