Chip lovers will be able to enjoy their favourite snack without the guilt, as Bluebird manufacturer PepsiCo announces it's changing the cooking oil used in all its major brands.
Bluebird is switching to canola oil, with the promise that will mean a lot less saturated fat in treats like Bluebird Original Cut potato chips, Rashuns, Twisties and Burger Rings.
The amount of satured fat will drop by as much as 85 per cent in some brands, with the company saying it wants to cut down on fat, sodium, and sugars.
PepsiCo New Zealand general manager Ali Hamza said it was a significant milestone for the company.
"We're proud to be rolling out this change in New Zealand to many of our great snack brands like Bluebird and Doritos. Consumer needs and preferences are changing, and Kiwis are more concerned about their health and wellness than ever before."
