Polydextrose 90

 Applications: Global Snack Products Enriched with Polydextrose

Polydextrose’s versatility has led to its adoption in a diverse range of snack products across the globe. Below are 4 standout examples from different countries, showcasing how manufacturers leverage this ingredient to create healthier, more appealing snacks.

United States: Quest Nutrition Protein Chips (Sour Cream & Onion Flavor)

Quest Nutrition, a leading U.S. brand specializing in high-protein, low-carb snacks, incorporates polydextrose into its popular Protein Chips. Designed for healthconscious consumers—including fitness enthusiasts and those following low-carb diets—these chips use polydextrose to achieve two key goals: first, to reduce the overall calorie  carbohydrate content (each serving contains just 140 calories and 3g net carbs),  second, to enhance the chips’ light, crispy texture without relying on traditional, higher-calorie bulking agents.

The addition of polydextrose also supports the product’s high-protein claim (20g of protein per serving) by balancing the texture of the protein-rich base, ensuring the chips do not become dense or dry. With its clean label functional benefits, this product has become a bestseller in the U.S. snack market, demonstrating polydextrose’s ability to elevate the nutritional profile of classic savory snacks.

United Kingdom: Walkers Lightly Salted Crisps (Reduced Calorie Version)

Walkers, the UK’s top crisp brand, turned to polydextrose to develop its Lightly Salted Crisps (Reduced Calorie Version), targeting consumers seeking a lighter alternative to traditional crisps. In this application, polydextrose acts as a calorie reducer and texture modifier: it replaces a portion of the potato’s natural carbohydrates, cutting the calorie content by 30% compared to Walkers’ regular Lightly Salted Crisps (from 132 kcal to 92 kcal per 25g serving).

Crucially, polydextrose preserves the crisps’ iconic crunch subtle salt flavor, ensuring consumers do not have to compromise on taste for health. The product is also marketed as a “source of fiber” (thanks to polydextrose’s dietary fiber content), aligning with the UK’s national focus on increasing fiber intake. It has since become a staple in UK supermarkets, proving polydextrose’s compatibility with classic snack formats.

Japan: Calbee “Slim Potato” Chips (Yuzu Pepper Flavor)

Calbee, Japan’s largest snack manufacturer, uses polydextrose in its “Slim Potato” chip line—a range specifically designed for weight-conscious consumers in Japan’s health-focused market. The Yuzu Pepper flavor, a fan favorite, leverages polydextrose to reduce calories (100 kcal per 20g serving) while maintaining the chips’ delicate, crispy texture and bright, citrusy-spicy taste.

In Japanese snack culture, texture and flavor balance are paramount, and polydextrose excels here by not altering the chip’s natural potato flavor or creating a “diet-like” aftertaste. Additionally, Calbee highlights polydextrose’s prebiotic benefits on the product packaging, appealing to consumers interested in gut health—a growing trend in Japan. The “Slim Potato” line has seen strong sales since its launch, solidifying polydextrose’s role in premium, health-focused Japanese snacks.

Brazil: Nestlé KitKat Chocolateless Wafer (Vanilla Flavor)Nestlé Brazil’s KitKat Chocolateless Wafer (Vanilla Flavor) is a innovative snack that uses polydextrose to cater to two key consumer needs: reduced sugar and lactose-free options (a major concern in Brazil, where lactose intolerance is prevalent). Polydextrose replaces a significant portion of the sugar in the wafer’s cream filling, cutting sugar content by 40% while adding dietary fiber (3g per serving).

The ingredient also improves the filling’s creamy texture, ensuring it remains smooth and indulgent without relying on lactose or added fats. Marketed as a “lighter, guilt-free” alternative to traditional KitKat bars, the product has resonated with Brazilian consumers seeking sweet snacks that align with their health goals. It is widely available in convenience stores and supermarkets across Brazil, showcasing polydextrose’s adaptability to confectionery-style snacks.
