## Story

Calbee America launched new 2.3-ounce bags of its Asian Style Chips. Inspired by iconic dishes from across Asia and now in a smaller format designed to lower the barrier to discovery, the following varieties will be sold in the international aisle at mainstream retailers and convenience stores.

- **Umami** Salt: Scallop, shiitake mushroom and kombu extracts deliver rich savory depth with just a hint of salt.

- **Thai-Style Yellow Curry**: Aromatic spices, herbs and a burst of zesty lime capture the bold, balanced flavors of the classic Thai dish.

- **Chinese-Style Spicy Hot Pot**: Szechuan pepper creates a heat for a fiery, flavorful snack.

- **Korean-Style Spicy BBQ**: Smoky grilled flavor pairs with gochugaru chili pepper, soy sauce, garlic, sesame and a touch of sweetness for a sweet-and-savory kick.

The chips are made from carefully selected potatoes and premium spices sourced directly from Asia. The snacks are free of dairy, wheat, peanuts and tree nuts, while the Thai-Style Yellow Curry and Chinese-Style Spicy Hot Pot varieties are also vegetarian.
