Utz acquired Inventure Foods for about $165 million, bringing Boulder Canyon into the group. Boulder Canyon cooks its crisps in avocado and olive oil rather than conventional vegetable oil, which costs considerably more and is why it sits at a premium price in natural grocery.
Utz acquired Zapp's, a Louisiana kettle crisp maker founded in 1985 by a former oil driller, known for Cajun flavours including Voodoo and Spicy Cajun Crawtator. The price was not disclosed and only the year is documented here.
