New York CNN —Higher prices have gone too far even for salty snacks.
PepsiCo’s snack unit Frito-Lay posted a dip in revenue in its second quarter Thursday after multiple quarters of price increases.
While inflation has slowed down, American customers still haven’t recovered from higher prices in everyday categories like snacks.
Certain products, like unsalted potato chips or tortilla chips, could see a “value reset” and have lower prices, Laguarta said.
The company said it would offer broader price tiers, using its variety multipacks that are often cheaper per bag, as an example.
