Waitrose Hand Cooked Crisps

Waitrose Hand Cooked Crisps are a premium snack line offered by the British supermarket chain Waitrose. The branding visible on the packaging, including the specific 'Not For EU' label and the 'AW CODE' prefix, is strictly associated with the United Kingdom retail market. These products are characteristically manufactured within the UK using locally sourced potatoes to maintain high quality and freshness.

The Waitrose brand dates back to 1904 when it was founded in Acton, West London. Since 1937, the brand and its supermarket operations have been part of the John Lewis Partnership, a unique employee-owned model in the UK. Unlike many other retail brands, Waitrose is not owned by a typical multinational corporation but rather by its employees, known as 'Partners,' who share in the profits and decision-making processes of the company.
