Goya recently unveiled new Adobo-Inspired Plantain and Tostones Chips that are bursting with flavor.
For those unfamiliar, Adobo is a signature Filipino dish, and it is a flavorful marinade used in Spanish and Latin American cooking. Goy has drawn inspiration from the latter for its new Adobo-Inspired Plantain and Tostones Chips, aiming to "deliver notes of garlic and Latin spices in every crunchy bite." When the bold spices are paired with the texture of a crisp plantain chip, it creates an addictive snacking experience. Plus, the chips are made with high oleic sunflower oil, and they are both gluten-free and kosher.
The new Adobo-Inspired Plantain and Tostones Chips come in both four-ounce and seven-ounce bags and are available from stores now.

What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Latin-inspired Snack Flavoring
- Bold regional spice profiles are reshaping salty snacks as brands translate familiar cultural seasonings into accessible, craveable chip formats.
- Alternative Chip Bases
- Plantain and tostones snacks signal growing interest in non-potato crunch formats that offer differentiation through texture, origin, and ingredient storytelling.
- Inclusive Better-for-you Snacks
- Gluten-free, kosher, and high-oleic-oil formulations reflect a widening market for snacks that combine indulgent flavor with broader dietary compatibility.
Sectors Adopting This
- Packaged Snacks
- Flavor-led product extensions create room for legacy snack makers to compete through cultural relevance and premiumized everyday formats.
- Ethnic Food Retail
- Mainstream distribution of Latin-inspired snacks expands opportunities for culturally rooted brands to reach consumers beyond traditional specialty aisles.
- Food Manufacturing
- Ingredient innovation around oils, seasonings, and alternative bases supports new product lines that balance sensory appeal with cleaner-label positioning.
