Sustainable Food Waste Chips

Confetti Fine Foods Creates Artisan Veggie Chips Without Additives

— January 19, 2021 — Lifestyle
Confetti Fine Foods is a Singapore-based snack brand specializing in home-style vegetable chips that replace preservatives with simple ingredients while helping to eliminate food waste.

Founded by CEO Betty Lu, the brand was the result of her own desire for healthier snacking options. While many vegetable chip options are offered in the market, Lu found that most were still predominantly unhealthy, deep-fried or that they lacked nutritional content. After combining fresh veggies with some of her favorite Singaporean spices, Confetti Fine Foods was born.

"Confetti makes delicious upcycled snacks from ugly veggies to reduce food waste" and donates "a portion of nutrient dense snacks to end hunger and malnutrition by working with global humanitarian missions to distribute snacks in the poorest parts of the world." The brand's best-selling vegetable chips include mixed varieties in flavors like Teriyaki BBQ, Green Curry and Summer Truffle along with mushroom chips in Sea Salt, Balinese Spice and Tandoori BBQ.
