Vegetable Chips: export from Canada to ASEAN

Vegetable chips (beet, parsnip, carrot, sweet potato) sit in a health-adjacent premium position rather than competing with potato chips on price, and that positioning is what makes the freight arithmetic work where it would not for a commodity snack.

The technical points mirror potato chips: oil stability, seasoning, barrier and flush. Colour retention is an additional variable specific to this category, since the visual appeal is the product and pigments fade with light exposure and oxidation. Opaque packaging is usually a requirement rather than a preference.

Moisture pickup is more acute than for potato chips because the raw materials are more hygroscopic, so the barrier specification should be set against destination humidity.

Health-adjacent claims are regulated and vary by market; confirm what may be said before designing the pack, since the positioning usually depends on it.

Vegetable-based snacks may classify differently from potato chips depending on the base vegetable and the process. Send the composition, because a mixed-vegetable product can sit somewhere other than either single-vegetable line.
