New fiber snack options: PepsiCo's SunChips Fiber and Smartfood FiberPop

Fiber is on many people's minds lately - and for good reason. It plays an important role in supporting digestive health and overall wellness. Scroll through social media and it's nearly impossible to miss the latest conversations around "fibermaxxing," the trend focused on increasing daily fiber intake.

Despite the growing buzz, there's still a significant fiber gap with only 6% of American adults on average meeting the recommended daily fiber intake¹, even though experts advise consuming 25-34 grams per day.²

Always looking to meet consumers' evolving preferences, PepsiCo has launched two new snacks in the U.S.: Smartfood® FiberPop™ and SunChips® Fiber - designed to deliver easy, flavorful choices incorporating fiber.

Smartfood isn't holding back on flavor (or fiber) with Smartfood FiberPop, available in two flavors: Sweet & Salty and Toffee & Sea Salt Flavored Coated Popcorn. An excellent source of fiber, FiberPop delivers six grams of fiber (contains six grams of total fat per serving) and at least 10 grams of whole grains per serving and is made without artificial colors or flavors. Follow along as a honey-loving bear, known as "fiBEAR," sets out to add more fiber to his diet, starting with his new favorite snack …FiberPop.

Made with real black beans and whole grains, SunChips Fiber offers a good source of fiber. It contains three grams of fiber (six grams of total fat per one ounce serving) and 16 grams of whole grains per serving, in two flavors: Spicy Jalapeño and Southwestern Queso. SunChips Fiber is made without artificial flavors or colors but still has the wavy crunch fans know and love.

"We're at a pivotal moment as awareness of fiber's importance accelerates, much like the rise of protein. At PepsiCo, we're anticipating where consumers are headed," says Tara Glasgow, PepsiCo Chief Science Officer. "By introducing delicious, fiber containing snacks across our portfolio, we're helping shape a future of snacking."

In 2023, PepsiCo set a big goal: by 2030, it aims to deliver 145 billion portions of diverse ingredients like legumes, whole grains, plant-based proteins, fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds each year across its global convenient foods portfolio.³ In 2024, 69 billion portions were delivered.⁴

Smartfood FiberPop and SunChips Fiber aim to build on that progress, giving consumers easy ways to get more fiber into their day, without overthinking it. It's all part of a bigger shift in PepsiCo's growing lineup of food and drinks made to help fans hit their daily fiber goals. Here are just a few more of the flavorful options from PepsiCo that include fiber that you'll want to add to your shopping cart.

1. Pepsi Prebiotic Cola: PepsiCo's Pepsi Prebiotic Cola - in Original Cola and Cherry Vanilla - is the boldest evolution in cola in over two decades. With no artificial sweeteners, just 30 calories, five grams of sugar, and three grams of prebiotic fiber, it delivers the bold Pepsi taste people love, now with added functional ingredients U.S. consumers are looking for.
2. S.U.N. bites: In the U.K., PepsiCo recently rebranded its popular Sunbites snacks as S.U.N., short for "Simple Uplifting Nutrition." The snacks are made with whole grains like rice, wheat, corn, and oats and are high in fiber.
3. poppi: The soda brand that PepsiCo acquired in 2025 is making waves in the modern beverage space in the U.S. and U.K. Each can of poppi contains three grams of fiber from organic agave inulin and casava root fiber, five grams of sugar as well as apple cider vinegar and plant-based ingredients.
4. Quaker Oats: Quaker offers a range of standard and instant oats, ready-to-eat cereals, and snacks that are either a good or excellent source of fiber, with a range of three to 10 grams of fiber per serving. Quaker Fiber Instant Oatmeal offers 35% daily value of fiber to help support digestive health (based on a 2,000-calorie diet).
