Old Dutch Crunchys Nacho Cheese

Old Dutch Crunchys are a popular line of cheese-flavored snacks under the Old Dutch brand, specifically known for their extruded corn texture and bold seasonings like Nacho Cheese. While the brand has deep roots in the American Midwest, the specific packaging shown includes bilingual English and French text, indicating this is the Canadian version produced for the North American market.

Old Dutch Foods began in 1934 in St. Paul, Minnesota, founded by Carl J. Marx. The company expanded into Canada in the 1950s, establishing a major presence in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Today, the brand is unique in that it remains an independent, family-owned business, which is rare in the snack industry dominated by global conglomerates. It operates manufacturing facilities across Western Canada and the U.S. Upper Midwest, ensuring regional distribution of its chips and snacks.
