Lasagna Chips

For our Snack of the Month Club, we typically feature what we are featuring from some of our snack clubs like potato chips, pretzels, chips & salsa, popcorn, nuts, etc. But every few months we find a snack that doesn't really fit in with any of our other categories. Lasagna Chips are one such item.

A mother nicknamed “Lainie” founded this company in 1988. She created Lasagna Chips out of a need for her son who was hyperactive (ADD) and sensitive to the preservatives, additives, artificial colors and flavors in snack foods available. “I found it necessary to create an all natural snack for him in my kitchen. Not only did he like it, so did all his friends as well! It was the biggest seller at the cake sales at school. Next, their parents were asking me to prepare a batch for their parties. Eventually, after many suggestions to open my own business, I did. And so “Lainie's Lasagna Chips” was born."

When her idea got so big that she couldn't keep up anymore, she inlisted the help of A&J Snacks - they were the original creator of the now famous New York Bagel Chips. Lasagna Chips are now available in four varieties: Sea Salt, Barbecue, Original Garlic & Oregano and my favorite, Tomato Basil.
