Brand Information
Popadelics Crunchy Mushroom Chips are shiitake mushrooms reimagined for the modern superfood snacker that bursts with flavor and packs an addictive crunch. To produce its signature crunch, Popadelics Crunchy Mushroom Chips leverage a unique cooking method called vacuum frying, which allows foods to cook at much lower temperatures while absorbing less oil and retaining more of their color, nutrients, texture, and flavor. Popadelics are also vegan, gluten-free, OU kosher certified, and Non-GMO Project verified. Popadelics is currently available in three culinary-inspired, mouth-watering flavors — Trippin’ Truffle Parm, Twisted Thai Chili, and Rad Rosemary + Salt. Packed with incredible flavor and a dense, crispy texture, our vegan snacks will have you trippin’ off the taste! A portion of all sales supports the Fun-Gal Snacks Foundation, which supports health and wellness causes.
Popadelics initially launched in April 2022 and in addition to Amazon and popadelics.com, our snacks are now carried in 3000+ stores nationwide, notably Whole Foods, CVS, Sprouts, The Fresh Market, Ralphs (Kroger), Fresh Thyme, Lassens, Wakefern, Turnip Truck, Jungle Jims, Better Health Markets, Rebekah’s, and more. Popadelics has also received multiple industry awards including having been a 2023 Expo West NEXTY finalist and has been featured in Forbes, Eater, Food Business News, and other key industry and consumer publications.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do Popadelics contain any psychedelics?
No! Although our snacks are out of this world, they do not contain any psilocybin, CBD, or THC. However, a portion of all purchases supports the Fun-Gal Snacks Foundation, which in turn supports research toward the use of psychedelics to treat mental health, via the Johns Hopkins Institute for Psychedelic and Consciousness Research.
What does "popadelic" mean?
"Popadelic" is actually a slang word that means “Having the coolness or style of pop music or pop stars”, interestingly enough!
Are Popadelics vegan?
Yes! All of our flavors are vegan, including our (vegan) Trippin’ Truffle Parm (with some of the tastiest vegan parm in the game)!
Are Popadelics gluten free?
While Popadelics are not yet gluten free certified through any third party agencies and no formal laboratory tests to measure the presence of gluten in our final product have been performed to date, we possess written attestations from all of our ingredient suppliers that each individual ingredient is gluten free. In addition, shiitake mushrooms are our primary ingredient, and they are naturally gluten free.
Are Popadelics non-GMO?
Yes! Popadelics Crunchy Mushroom Chips and its three flavors (Trippin’ Truffle Parm, Twisted Thai Chili, and Rad Rosemary & Salt) are Non-GMO Project certified.
Are Popadelics kosher?
Yes! Popadelics Crunchy Mushroom Chips and its three flavors (Trippin’ Truffle Parm, Twisted Thai Chili, and Rad Rosemary & Salt) are kosher certified via the Orthodox Union (OU).
Where are Popadelics made?
Popadelics are finished (i.e. seasoned and packaged) in Illinois, USA. We work with a US-based specialty ingredients distributor to source our shiitake mushrooms, which primarily originate from China. All imported ingredients are first inspected for safety and standards at our distributor's domestic facility before they come to us, and our distributor is certified via Level 2 Safe Quality Food Institute (SQF2) standards. What that means: they’ve been certified in a rigorous, globally recognized program to ensure they source safe, quality food products. What that really means: they're strict! All of our other ingredients are domestically (US) sourced.
How should I store my Popadelics?
Popadelics are ready-to-eat and are best stored in ambient (room temperature) environments in a cool, dry place. Store and enjoy as you would any other crunchy chip/snack!
How are Popadelics so crunchy?
Our unique vacuum frying cooking method makes our snack better-for-you than other mainstream snacks while also producing our signature crunch! Vacuum frying uses a combination of pressure and hot oil. Compared to traditional frying, vacuum fried foods cook at much lower temperatures. This can help food absorb less oil and retain more of their color, nutrients, texture, and flavor.
