What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

PepsiCo began testing a reformulated Doritos product in the Netherlands to assess manufacturing consistency and repeat purchase rates. The overhaul reduced salt and saturated fat, positioning enhanced crunch as the main selling point of the new recipe. This testing precedes a wider European rollout, which may include the UK.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The reformulation aims to help move products outside of HFSS classification, which could reopen retail opportunities and support further brand investment. Following a previous European rollout, Doritos recorded 20% growth and attracted 2.1 million new consumers over two years.

PepsiCo's innovation efforts are part of a larger strategy that includes a Sustainability Innovation Hub in Mexico City and plant design informed by a Canadian pilot plant.
