New Zealand snack brand Proper Crisps has launched its latest product in a rich salt and pepper flavour – the Big Cut Purple & Gold crisps.

An evolution of Proper Crisps’ Cracked Pepper flavour, Purple & Gold features thickly cut golden and purple potatoes, dusted with Marlborough Sea Salt and a blend of freshly cracked pepper.

Gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan, and free from artificial additives and preservatives, Purple & Gold crisps are unpeeled, thickly sliced, and cooked slowly to create a crunchy texture.

Proper Crisps senior brand manager, Hayley Lewis, said Purple & Gold wasn’t just about looking good, it’s about delivering a purple potato flavour and texture to elevate the snack game.

“We’re excited to debut Purple & Gold as the new and improved replacement for Cracked Pepper in our Big Cut range,” said Lewis.

Purple & Gold sets a new standard in Australia, featuring potatoes with a unique burst of colour.”

The 140g Purple & Gold Proper Crisps will be available at Woolworths Metros, Coles Locals, and independent retailers from the end of August for RRP $6.90.

SPSA has welcomed the soft plastics focus, while Boomerang Alliance and WMRR have raised concerns about the lack of concrete action.

Economic analysis commissioned by SPSA estimates national recycling reforms could deliver up to $278m in net productivity gains and stimulate up to $2.6b in capital investment each year.
