“Chiquita has always stood for quality and a premium food experience,” says Maria Janis, licensing manager at Chiquita Brands. “This collaboration allows Snax-Sational Brands to present the Chiquita brand in a way that is fresh, fun, and true to our commitment to quality.”

“We’re thrilled to collaborate with an iconic brand like Chiquita to bring something truly fresh to snack lovers,” says Mike Hagan, CEO of Snax-Sational Brands. “At Snax-Sational, we’re passionate about creating snacks that are both exciting and accessible, and Chiquita Plantain Chips perfectly capture that mission—bold flavor, simple ingredients, and incredible freshness.”

Plantain chips continue to grow as one of the most dynamic categories in the snack industry, the two brands say. The chips combine global flavor appeal, better-for-you snacking, and shareable dip-ready formats. 

“As consumer interest rises in better-for-you snacks with global flavor appeal, Chiquita Plantain Chips arrive at a perfect moment,” says James Slifer, managing director of The Joester Loria Group, Chiquita’s licensing agency. “This launch speaks to the strength of the Chiquita brand and the opportunity to extend its trusted quality into new snacking occasions. We are proud to bring this offering to market with Snax-Sational Brands.”

Consumers can find Chiquita Plantain Chips at leading national and regional supermarket chains and online beginning January 2026.
