Wheat Crunchies

Wheat Crunchies are a crisp wheat snack currently in production under the British snack producer KP Snacks Ltd. They come in several flavours Spicy tomato, Bacon and Cheese and Onion. A regular multipack bag contains 20g and a normal retail pack contains 30g.

History

Wheat Crunchies was acquired by Rowntree Mackintosh in 1982 with their purchase of a 90% stake in Riley's Potato Crisps.[1]

In February 1992, Sooner Snacks was bought from Borden Inc. by Dalgety plc, with the company being absorbed into Golden Wonder.[2][3] In 1995, Golden Wonder underwent a management buyout costing £54.6 million. In 2000, Bridgepoint Capital acquired Golden Wonder for £156 million.[4] It was subsequently sold to United Biscuits in 2006, following the take-over of Golden Wonder by Tayto,[5] and merged into KP Snacks. In December 2012 KP Snacks was sold to Intersnack.[6]

Re-launch

In June 2012, United Biscuits re-launched Wheat Crunchies[7] with a new logo, 'improved taste', a new Cheddar & Onion flavour, and a bigger snack size.
