Already a beacon brand in healthier snacking, the new non-HFSS popchips portfolio will be free from restrictions on location, helping to drive sales by offering a snack that does not compromise on big flavour.
The phased roll-out of the non-HFSS popchips range follows KP Snacks announcing its HFSS strategy earlier this year. The popchips portfolio joins the growing count of non-HFSS KP Snacks products including Tyrrells Lightly Sea Salted and the Hula Hoops Puft Range.
Product cases of non-HFSS popchips, alongside all non-HFSS KP Snacks products, will be stamped with an improved non-HFSS flash. The new KP Snacks non-HFSS stamp features clear messaging which reads.
Matt Collins, Trading Director at KP Snacks says, “popchips is a leading brand in the healthier snacking segment and its non-HFSS reformulation across the range cements this position. At KP Snacks, reformulation plays a key part of our comprehensive HFSS strategy and we are proud to be supporting retailers in this way as they adjust to upcoming legislation. By the time HFSS laws take effect, over 100 of our SKUs will be non-HFSS”
