Kettle Chips is a renowned brand of potato chips (crisps in the UK) known for their distinctive crunch and artisanal approach. This specific variant, Mature Cheddar & Red Onion, is part of their classic range which emphasizes bold, natural flavors. The packaging clearly states the heritage of the product, being 'Hand Cooked in Norfolk', which refers to their long-standing production site in Bowthorpe, Norwich.

Originally founded in Salem, Oregon, in 1978 as N.S. Khalsa Company, the brand expanded to the UK in the late 1980s. Over the decades, ownership has transitioned through several major food conglomerates. In the UK, the brand was acquired by Campbell Soup Company as part of the Snyder's-Lance acquisition in 2018, but the European arm (Kettle Foods Ltd) was later sold to Valeo Foods in 2019.

Today, the brand continues to emphasize its local ties to Norfolk for the British market while being part of a larger international portfolio under Valeo Foods Group. The products are widely regarded for using real food ingredients and thick-cut potatoes that are batch-cooked to provide a unique texture compared to standard mass-produced crisps.
