PepsiCo: Average of 47% salt reduction

PepsiCo and Walkers have invested significantly in reformulation to support healthier choices while maintaining the taste consumers expect. Through sustained investment in R&D, PepsiCo announced that at the start of 2026 its core Walkers flavours had moved almost entirely to non‑HFSS. This includes new additions such as Hot Honey, Sticky Teriyaki and Masala Chicken, alongside reformulated favourites like Salt & Vinegar and Prawn Cocktail, delivering average salt reductions of 47%. 

This progress builds on PepsiCo’s long track record of reformulation and innovation and on Walkers recently achieving its health ambition, with over 50% of UK snacks sales now coming from healthier choices.
