THIS IS IT! DIELINE Awards 2026 Late Entry Deadline Ends Feb 28


After 38 years, Expo East—the East Coast’s largest natural products tradeshow—has officially closed its doors.
Lucky for us, we attended the final show in Philadelphia last week. While the news was bittersweet, the energy remained high at this year’s show, with brands determined to go out with a bang. From a product and food innovation perspective, it certainly had everything—nut milk, non-alcoholic cocktails, mushroom elixirs, seaweed snacks, tomato spreads, snacking noodles, and so much more.
So, in honor of Expo East’s final year, we’re highlighting 21 brand standouts from the farewell show. And not to worry, Expo Easters, you’ll always have Newtopia Now.
