USA | SNAX-Sational Brands, in collaboration with Chiquita, unveiled Chiquita Plantain Chips, an exciting addition to the snack aisle that brings the authentic taste of Ecuador straight to the pantry.
SNAX-Sational’s new Chiquita Plantain Chips go from harvest at the farm to bag in just 24 hours, locking in exceptional freshness, crunch, and flavour.
Each batch starts with hand-selected plantains, ensuring the premium quality and consistency synonymous with the Chiquita name.
“Chiquita has always stood for quality and a premium food experience,” said Maria Janis, Licensing Manager at Chiquita Brands.
“This collaboration allows SNAX-Sational Brands to present the Chiquita brand in a way that is fresh, fun, and true to our commitment to quality.”
The chips will be available in five crave-worthy flavours: Chile Limón, Garlic, Scoops with Sea Salt, Original, and Sweet. Each variety is made with only three to four simple, recognisable ingredients.
Naturally gluten-free and vegan-friendly, each 8-oz bag offers a clean-label snacking experience that is both satisfying and wholesome.
“We’re thrilled to collaborate with an iconic brand like Chiquita to bring something truly fresh to snack lovers,” said Mike Hagan, CEO of SNAX-Sational Brands.
“At SNAX-Sational, we’re passionate about creating snacks that are both exciting and accessible, and Chiquita Plantain Chips perfectly capture that mission; bold flavour, simple ingredients, and incredible freshness.”
Plantain chips continue to grow as one of the most dynamic categories in the snack industry. They combine global flavour appeal, better-for-you snacking, and shareable dip-ready formats. Chiquita Plantain Chips bring consumers a fresh, elevated take on this staple.
“As consumer interest rises in better-for-you snacks with global flavour appeal, Chiquita Plantain Chips arrive at a perfect moment,” said James Slifer, Managing Director of The Joester Loria Group, Chiquita’s licensing agency.
“This launch speaks to the strength of the Chiquita brand and the opportunity to extend its trusted quality into new snacking occasions. We are proud to bring this offering to market with SNAX-Sational Brands.”
Consumers can find Chiquita Plantain Chips beginning January 2026.
