The WUJU Foods Asian Tang crisps are a series of snack products for the US market that are focused on helping Americans try out some authentic Asian flavors in a decidedly accessible way.
The snack chips are crafted with a range of premium ingredients and harness the flavor of authentic Asian cuisine. The product balances sweetness with heat along with the umami flavor of Vietnamese pho soup, which works well with the potato chip base. The snack is arriving at HomeGoods locations to introduce shoppers to the crunchy snack when searching for home decor goods.
Founder Larry Wu spoke on the WUJU Foods Asian Tang crisps saying, "My parents really taught me that Asian food can have a place within the palates of every culture. I’ve also loved how shopping at HomeGoods was like treasure hunting. To be able to debut our Asian Tang crisps in such a beloved store known for their ‘go finding’ retail experience is an accomplishment for the brand that I’m incredibly proud of and excited about."
