McCoys Hot Mexican Chilli Flavor Ridge Cut Potato Crisps 30 x 47,5g

Product Information

Seabrook Crisps are an Ethical Consumer best buy, with a score of 14, but sadly not available from Veggies supplier, Lembas. Pringles Crisps managed to hit an ethiscore of just 0.5, but they are owned by notorious animal tester Proctor and Gamble, with experiments involving transgenic mice and a boycott call by both Uncaged and Peta.

The ridged crisps offered “unique and tempting flavours” and had been designed to “bolster growth of the McCoy’s brand, while strengthening its flavour credentials”, said the brand. They were “perfectly positioned to attract younger shoppers”, who were “influenced by flavours when making purchasing decisions”. Muchos disappeared from supermarkets last month, having been touted as the “biggest-ever” launch from McCoy’s in 2019.The crisps giant confirmed the activity was linked to an upcoming launch, but declined to comment further. The brand said the launch taps into the growing popularity of Mexican food, with Mexican being the fourth largest takeaway cuisine in the UK and a 71% growth in Mexican restaurants in 2017. Brand Marketing Boldly Satisfying Why not try another of our bold, distinctive flavours? Flame Grilled Steak Salt & Malt Vinegar Cheddar & Onion Stop press: it turns out that this one lists lactose on the ingredients and ‘contains milk’ on the allergy advise, despite being listed by Lembas as vegan. Investigations continue.

McCoy’s has taken another stab at Mexican-inspired flavours, adding the two-strong Epic Eats range of crisps. A blogger comments: “Aaaah, Seabrook, the crisp of the North! These very, very fine potato chips are largely found north of Watford in the UK, and are vastly superior to any other brand of potato chip to be found in the British Isles. (It’s a known fact.) Plus, they have numerous delicious vegan flavours, including the wondrously ‘meaty’ Canadian Ham, but also Smoky Bacon and numerous other less surprising flavours.” Kettle Chips scored 9.5. This may have changed as they were aquired in 2010 by Diamond Foods Inc in the US. Diamond Walnut was the location for the longest union strike in U.S. history as of 2010. The strike began in 1991 and ended in 2005 [ref].
