QSR Chain Tortilla Chips

Yum! Brands is Launching Taco Bell Tortilla Chips for Sale in Stores

— March 22, 2018 — Lifestyle
Yum! Brands is launching a trio of packaged Taco Bell tortilla chips that will be accessible to consumers through various supermarkets, grocery and convenience stores, as well as other retail locations.

The tortilla chips take inspiration from the Mexican fast food chain's sauce packets, with names like Fire and Mild. As such, in the same way that the signature sauce packets are designed with "saucy wisdoms," the chip packaging boasts a similar design.

While the Mild tortilla chips seasoned with Taco Bell's Mild sauce offers the taste of three chili peppers and cumin, the Fire chips provide even more heat with jalapeño, chili peppers and paprika. The collection of tortilla chips also includes a Classic option that is unseasoned, yet perfect for pairing with a range of dips and sauces.
Trend Themes
1. Branded Food Products - Opportunity for QSR chains to expand their brand presence and revenue streams by launching packaged food products.
2. Sauce-inspired Packaging - Innovative packaging designs that draw inspiration from popular food items, providing a unique and recognizable visual identity.
3. Flavor Variety - Growing demand for flavorful snack options, creating an opportunity for QSR chains to offer unique and bold flavor profiles in packaged food products.
