PepsiCo Australia has achieved a 3.5 Health Star Rating (HSR) across its entire Smith’s Thinly Cut and Baked potato chip ranges.
The company says it’s a long-term supporter of the health initiative, with 100% of its foods and beverages now displaying the HSR on pack.
“For more than 15 years, we have been transforming our snacks portfolio and providing more choice for consumers,” says PepsiCo General Manager of Australia Foods Alexia Horley.
“Reducing sodium, without compromising on taste and flavour, is a key priority for the business. We are delighted to have achieved a 3.5 HSR across the entire Smith’s Thinly Cut and Baked ranges and offer consumers more positive choices whilst delivering great taste.
“The HSR initiative provides great motivation for businesses to communicate their positive changes and new innovations to consumers, as Australians become more conscious about their food and beverages choices”.
The Thinly Cut and Baked achievement follows the 2022 launch of Simply, promoted as the first potato chip on Australian supermarket shelves that has a HSR of 4.
