Golden Wonder Cheese & Onion crisps

Golden Wonder is a historic British snack brand founded in 1947 by William Alexander in Stockbridge, Edinburgh. The brand rose to national prominence by being the first to mass-market flavoured potato crisps, starting with its famous Cheese & Onion variety.

Today, the manufacturing is primarily based in the United Kingdom, specifically at a major production facility in Scunthorpe. While the brand has changed hands several times—previously being owned by companies like Imperial Tobacco and Dalgety—it is currently owned by Tayto Group Limited.

Tayto Group is one of the largest snack manufacturers in the UK and Ireland. Under Tayto's ownership, Golden Wonder has maintained its identity as a classic British snack choice while benefiting from the manufacturing and distribution scale of its parent company, which is headquartered in Tandragee, Northern Ireland.
