These Walkers snacks have been reformulated by the brand in anticipation of the upcoming HFSS regulations set to hit the UK this fall to keep the products applicable for the changing times.
The brand has revamped its Doritos Dippers, Walkers Baked and PopWorks product lines, which will now feature less fat, less salt and less sugar. The new snacks adhere to governmental guidelines, but also adapt to the changing preferences of consumers who are on the hunt for permissible snacks to satisfy their cravings.
Chief Marketing Officer at PepsiCo Fiona Tomlin spoke on the reformulated Walkers snacks saying, "We have taken some of our best-loved brands - PopWorks, Doritos Dippers and Walkers Baked – and transformed them to offer customers a wider selection of flavourful non-HFSS snacks. This is an important milestone in our long-term commitment to provide smart snacking choices, without compromising on taste."
