PepsiCo’s Australian snacks division, Smith’s Snackfood Co, has added to its range with the launch of a line of air-popped products.

Sunbites Popcorn and Smith’s Popped potato snacks are cooked in hot air, not oil, so are lower in fat, PepsiCo said. The company is hoping to capitalise on the growth in consumer demand for healthy snacks with the launch.
