Eta Ripples Sour Cream & Chives

Eta is a household name in New Zealand, recognized primarily for its range of snack foods and spreads. The Eta Ripples series, specifically the Sour Cream & Chives variety, is a popular crinkle-cut potato chip known for its thick texture and bold seasoning. The brand prides itself on its local roots, with many of its products manufactured within New Zealand using locally sourced ingredients where possible.

Originally established as a New Zealand company, the brand has undergone several changes in ownership throughout its history. In recent decades, it was part of the Griffin's Food Company portfolio. Griffin's was eventually acquired by Universal Robina Corporation (URC) in 2014, and subsequently, the entire snacking business was sold to Intersnack Group. As of the current market landscape leading into 2026, the brand remains under the ultimate stewardship of Intersnack Group, a major European snack food manufacturer, while maintaining its strong Kiwi identity and local production facilities.
