Which snack company created Sun Chips, first sold in 1991?

Frito-Lay created Sun Chips, which were first sold in 1991.

Sun Chips are wavy, multigrain snacks made from whole grains and marketed as an alternative to conventional potato or corn chips. Frito-Lay introduced the brand in 1991. The chips’ ridged shape and grain-based recipe are central to their identity.

Frito-Lay is the snack division of PepsiCo and is also associated with brands such as Lay’s, Doritos, Cheetos, and Tostitos. Sun Chips therefore belong to a broad portfolio of packaged snack products rather than being an independent bakery or cereal brand.

Sun Chips are sometimes described as whole-grain chips, but the term refers to their recipe and branding rather than to a single grain. Different varieties can contain combinations of corn, wheat, oats, and other ingredients. The most stable identifying facts are the 1991 launch, Frito-Lay ownership, and multigrain construction.
