Processed snacks are products that are less perishable and more portable than prepared foods. Though there are many variants in terms of the ingredients used, the processed snacks market can be divided into three categories: extruded snacks, tortilla chips/corn chips, and pork scratchings. Processed snacks are eaten in between meals. Their consumption has increased as breakfast items, after dinner snacks, and food items for social gatherings and celebrations.
