PepsiCo Inc. has set a goal to make its snacks healthier for consumers. To achieve its objective, the beverage and snack producer said it would reduce the sodium content in its products and use a variety of ingredients.
PepsiCo continues to reinvent and innovate its food line to make it even better for customers. Its new nutrition goals will make sure that its Frito-Lay, Cheetos, Ruffles, Rold Gold, and Doritos products will be hearty snacks for everyone, without compromising on taste.
Shift to the Healthier Food Portfolio
As per Food Dive, PepsiCo’s announcement for sodium reduction and tweak on ingredients comes as more and more shoppers choose healthier food options. Most consumers now put greater importance on their health so they also change their eating habits to include nutritious items.
Moreover, people are also becoming conscious of how the food they eat affects the environment. Knowing this, PepsiCo is making changes to the products it makes and sells, accordingly. For starters, lowering the amount of sodium and choosing better ingredients are two things the company is taking to reach its nutrition goal.
PepsiCo Positive Program
The company’s latest nutrition initiative is part of its PepsiCo Positive or (pep+) program. Through this, the company promises to deliver important sources of nutrition through diverse ingredients.
The target is to reduce sodium for at least 75% of its food portfolio volume to meet or attain below sodium level by 2030. For instance, PepsiCo will work on lowering Lay’s Classic Potato Chips’ sodium content by 15% or about 140 mg per 28-gram serving. The potato chip brand will also limit saturated fat and add more fiber, protein, and whole grains.
"We are in a constant cycle of innovation to reimagine the foods we make and how we make them so we can bring better choices to our consumers, without ever compromising on taste," PepsiCo’s executive vice president and chief Science officer, René Lammers, said in a press release. "Consumers enjoy our products more than one billion times a day, which provides an opportunity – and the privilege – to have an impact. We set a high bar to improve the nutritional profile of our products, and these new goals reaffirm our ambitions."
