These Cheetos snacks are headed to the UK market as part of the brand's major relaunch that will see the products taking on a new branding aesthetic, but also incorporating a new flavor into the mix.
The products include the new Cheetos Fiery Jalapeño & Cheese snack puffs alongside the existing Twisted Sweet & Spicy variety, which will come in sharing bags as well as price-marked packs (PMPs). The snack products target the snacking habits of Gen Z consumers and lean into the brand's American heritage to help catch the attention of shoppers.

Retailers who stock Cheetos can expect a high-energy, trend-driven brand that resonates with the Gen Z audience. This is about more than just snacking occasions; it’s about making Cheetos an integral part of daily life and connecting with the next wave of snackers who want to connect with brand culture.”
