The three new varieties have 17 – 18 grams of whole grains in each serving, as well as 40% less fat than regular potato chips, but still maintain the kettle-style texture and taste Cape Cod fans have come to love.

According to the Whole Grains Council, while 60% of Americans consumer at least one serving of whole grains during a two-week period, the combination of whole wheat, whole yellow corn and whole oats found in Cape Cod’s new kettle-style whole grain varieties offer at least one of the recommended servings.

  • The wonderfully crafted Toasted Grains offers a combination of three whole grains that cannot be found in any other whole grain snack. The combination of whole grains come together and is then slightly sweetened.
  • Every bite of the Three Cheese variety reveals a new taste — the hearty crunch of the three whole grains and the smooth blend of white cheddar, Monterey Jack and mozzarella.
  • Discover the robust flavor of Italian Herbs & Cheese with three whole grains, a savory blend of cheeses — cheddar, blue, Monterey Jack and mozzarella — with a touch of Italian herbs and tomato.

“We are always looking for way to help make the potato chip a more sensible snacking option,” said Heidi Daly Ford, Brand Manager for Cape Cod. “For those that are looking for a way to enjoy their favorite salty snacks and maintain sensible eating habits, our whole grain line is a great option as they will not have to sacrifice taste.”

Like the other Cape Cod Potato Chips, the whole grain varieties are all natural and cooked in 100% canola oil with no trans fat.

The well-known Cape Cod® lighthouse on the package makes it easy for consumers to find among the sea of salty snacks. An 8-ounce bag of the new whole grain varieties retails around $3.99 and can be found at major retailers in New England and the southeast United States.
