The SaltMe! potato chips are a flavorful snack product for consumers seeking to cut back on their sodium intake to choose when seeking out a crunchy snack. The chips are reported by the brand to contain 50% less sodium than alternatives on the market, while still maintaining the satisfying flavor that consumers expect from snack chips. This is thanks to the brand's micronized salt technology that helps to evenly distribute sodium for an optimized flavor.
The SaltMe! potato chips are being launched at an additional 1,400 Krogery grocery store locations starting in mid-March 2022, which was commented on by MicroSalt Inc. CEO Rick Guiney who said, "We’re thrilled to be able to expand the reach of our products. Our microscopic salt crystal technology is creating new opportunities for consumers to lower their sodium intake without sacrificing flavor.”
