McCoy's Flame Grilled Steak Ridge Cut Potato Crisps

McCoy's is a classic British brand of ridge-cut potato crisps, distinguished by their thick texture and intense flavor profiles. The brand was first launched in 1985 by KP Snacks and has since grown to become one of the most popular snack choices in the United Kingdom, particularly famous for its 'Flame Grilled Steak' variety. The manufacturing process involves a proprietary cooking method designed to enhance the 'crunch' and allow for heavier seasoning compared to standard crisps.

While the brand has its roots in South Yorkshire through its original producer Kenyon Produce (KP), it is currently owned by the German-based Intersnack Group. Intersnack acquired KP Snacks in 2013 and continues to manage the brand as part of its extensive international portfolio. Despite the international ownership, McCoy's crisps are primarily manufactured at KP Snacks' facilities across the United Kingdom, maintaining their status as a British snack staple.
