SunChips is a popular brand of wavy, ripple-cut multigrain snacks known for their distinct texture and emphasis on whole grains. Launched in 1991, the brand was an innovative departure from traditional potato and corn chips, marketing itself as a heart-healthy and more nutritious salty snack alternative.

Today, SunChips is manufactured and distributed globally. While primarily produced in various nationwide facilities across the United States to ensure freshness, the brand's supply chain extended internationally through the extensive Frito-Lay network. Its parent company, PepsiCo, manages the brand's production and distribution as part of its massive global food and beverage portfolio.

The brand has gained significant recognition not just for its flavors—like the Tomato & Jalapeño shown here—but for its environmental initiatives, including the high-profile introduction of compostable bags. As a core brand under Frito-Lay, SunChips remains a staple in the snack aisle, maintaining a global presence while being headquartered in Plano, Texas.
