Making food and beverages nutritious and delicious one smile at a time

When we develop new foods in our test kitchens — yes, we cook in kitchens — we use whole grains, fruits and vegetables, dairy, and protein. Our R&D team innovates with new technology too: for example, creating an air-fried crisp that’s just as crispy as a chip fried in oil. Products like Off the Eaten Path’s Veggie Crisps show that snacks made with real veggies can taste great and be fun to eat. We’re also introducing more functional ingredients, like the panax ginseng in soulboost lift.

When we’re sinking a spoon into a hearty bowl of Old Fashioned Quaker Oats, we realize your first thought may not be about the stats on the nutrition label. The whole-grain goodness of Quaker Oats, with a history of more than 140 years, is tried and true. And today the demand for wholesome, nutritious food is high. With good reason. 

We’re making sure to offer nutritious options that consumers are seeking, while still providing the same great taste. Our nutrition goals align with two of the United Nations’ sustainable development goals — Good Health and Well-Being, and Zero Hunger — and we help to work towards a future without malnutrition, hunger or food insecurity. 

As for our trusty favorites, we’ve reduced added sugars, sodium and saturated fat without changing the flavors people know and love (because we know you’d notice). The recipe may have changed, but the familiar crunch of Lay’s will still make you smile from ear to ear.
