Smith's Sour Cream & Onion Crackers

Smith's is a household name in the Australian snack market, renowned for its long history in the potato chip and savory snack industry. The specific product shown is their Sour Cream & Onion Crackers, which are oven-baked as a lighter alternative to traditional fried chips. These products are typically produced in manufacturing plants across Australia, primarily utilizing locally grown ingredients where possible.

The brand's lineage dates back to the early 20th century in the United Kingdom, specifically founded by Frank Smith. However, the Australian branch became a powerhouse in its own right, eventually becoming part of global snacks portfolios. Today, the brand is owned by the multinational giant PepsiCo, which manages the brand through its The Smith's Snackfood Company subsidiary. It remains the dominant savory snack brand in the Australian and Oceanic regions, maintaining a strong cultural connection to its Australian heritage despite its American corporate ownership.
