In July 2024, Walkers snacks launched three new chickpea-based, non-HFSS snacks across the Wotsits and Monster Munch brands - forming a cross-brand platform named ‘Yummy With’. The range of chickpea snacks is less than 100 calories, 25% lower in salt than the average extruded product, and provides a source of fibre.
Due to innovations like the new chickpea range, PepsiCo is on track to meet its goal of 50% of UK snacks sales coming from products that are either non-HFSS or sold in portions of 100 Calories or less by 2025 - an ambition set in 2022 and boosted with an initial investment of £35 million.
