help Kettle Brand FAQ
Why are Kettle Brand chips crunchier than regular Lay's-style chips?
Kettle Brand uses a kettle-cooked process, which fries thicker potato slices in smaller batches than continuous-fried thin chips. That gives flavors like Sea Salt and Jalapeno their harder, louder crunch.
Where did Kettle Brand start?
Kettle Foods was founded in Oregon and became closely associated with Salem, Oregon. The company began as a natural-food business before its potato chips became the main Kettle Brand product.
Who owns Kettle Brand now?
Kettle Brand is part of Campbell's snack portfolio through the Snyder's-Lance acquisition. That places it under the same corporate umbrella as several large U.S. snack brands.
How does Kettle Brand compare with Cape Cod chips?
Both are kettle-cooked chip brands, but Kettle Brand is strongly associated with bolder flavors like Jalapeno, Backyard Barbeque, and Sea Salt & Vinegar. Cape Cod, founded in Massachusetts, is often compared for a more classic New England kettle-chip style.
