Snack it Forward’s rapidly growing brand PeaTos recently added new Cheetos and Funyuns offering to its lineup.
For years now, Frito-Lay brands like Cheetos and Funyuns have been staples of the snack aisle. Now, PeaTos is offering consumers a better-for-you alternative to their favorite snacks. PeaTos' new Cheetos and Funyuns offerings replace the traditional corn base of most snacks with nutrient-dense peas. The brand then uses 100% plant-based ingredients to add flavor and proprietary methodology to replicate the dairy experience. As Nick Desai, founder of PeaTos, explains, "For decades, Frito-Lay brands like Cheetos and Funyuns have monopolized the snack aisle while the better-for-you options taste like cardboard. But consumers no longer need to sacrifice taste for nutrition."
