Lasso Rapidly Deploys Patented SpinTech With the Launch of Two Clean, High-Protein Snack Brands, Signaling A New Era of Food Innovation

Lasso, a new food technology company reinventing how packaged foods are made, today announced the commercial debut of its proprietary Lasso SpinTech process with the launch of its first two owned CPG brands-just months after emerging from stealth and announcing its fundraise in September. The rapid rollout signals Lasso's ability to translate breakthrough food science into market-ready products at unprecedented speed-at a time when legacy CPG companies are belatedly introducing protein-laden sublines packed with artificial ingredients and fillers.

Lasso introduces Froobies and CronchClub: two next-generation snacks that serve as the first commercial proof points for Lasso SpinTech in action, delivering clean ingredients, high protein and fiber, and craveable taste and texture.

• Froobies reimagines the nostalgic, favorite fruit snack with modern nutritional benefits for kids and adults alike. Each package contains 4g protein and 3g fiber. Perfect for everyday or as an on-the-go treat delivering amazing taste, essential protein and dietary fiber with 0g added sugar or artificial dyes or flavors.
• CronchClub is a protein-forward baked crisp designed to deliver best-in-class macros (21-23g protein, 7-8g fiber), unbeatable crunch and bold flavors: Original, Herby Ranch, Garden Salsa, and Zesty BBQ. Rather than rely on dusty protein oatings or additive-heavy binders common in the category, CronchClub crisps are made with protein and fiber directly woven into the crisp- resulting in a cleaner ingredient list and a more satisfying and satiating snack.

The launch comes amid surging consumer demand for high-protein, fiber-rich snacks as shoppers increasingly seek foods that deliver satiety and functionality without excess sugar.

"We're in the middle of a structural shift in how consumers approach food-a convergence of GLP-1 driven awareness and broader economic pressures that are reshaping expectations around nutrition and value," said Lasso CEO Mike Messersmith. "Consumers want real innovation, not legacy brands repackaging familiar formulas with added protein and calling it progress. Today's shoppers are more informed and expect meaningful improvements in ingredients, nutrition, and formulation, and they want it now. Traditional food innovation cycles weren't designed to move at that pace. Because we've invested in proprietary technology from day one, we can bring new concepts to market in months, not years, and Froobies and CronchClub are proof. This is just the beginning."

Froobies and CronchClub are now available for pre-order on their respective DTC websites (eatfroobies.com and cronchclub.com) and will roll out to select specialty retailers in New York City in the coming weeks.

Lasso is actively developing additional new products both internally and through licensing and partnership opportunities with food companies worldwide. Companies interested in partnering or learning more should reach out to [email protected].
