We also debuted a new column in the October digital magazine focused on colors and flavors. The Game Changers column highlights the top 10 food and beverage brands that stand out. Scroll through the curated slideshow here.

Townsend noted one of the top picks for the inaugural column, Unbothered Foods, which is “a brand bringing full flavor to sourdough food products.” She chatted with the company’s founder, Morgan Murdock, a registered dietitian that specializes in gastrointestinal health, about the innovation behind the brand.

“I asked myself, ‘What are my patients missing/What do people like in a cracker?’ Murdock said. “The style of cracker that we have is a more elevated cracker. It’s not like a Dorito, [which is] a very zesty cracker. It’s one that’s going to pair on any charcuterie board, but with a flair.”
