The Senate Resolution, introduced by a group of senators, encourages the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development to collaborate with private sector and tourism promotion entities to create and promote a "Pennsylvania Sweet and Salty Trail." This initiative aims to honor the significant contributions of the confectionery, snack food, food manufacturing, and agricultural industries to the state's economy and cultural heritage. Pennsylvania is recognized as a leader in these sectors, being the top producer of pretzels and potato chips in the U.S. and home to numerous small and medium-sized businesses that contribute to local economies.

The proposed Sweet and Salty Trail would not only highlight the state's rich agricultural resources and the interconnectedness of its economy but also support job creation and tourism. By showcasing the diverse range of products produced in Pennsylvania, from chocolates to potato chips, the trail aims to generate engagement and support for the state's industries, which collectively contribute over $1 billion in taxes. Ultimately, the resolution seeks to celebrate Pennsylvania's identity as the "snack food capital of the world" and promote the quality and safety of its food products while fostering economic development and tourism.
