KP Snacks, also known as KP Foods, is a United Kingdom‑based manufacturer of snack foods. The company produces a broad range of products that include potato crisps, nuts, popcorn, and other savory snacks sold under brands such as Tyrrells, McCoy's, and Popchips. These items are distributed to retailers across the UK and are also exported to various international markets. KP Snacks supplies both branded and private‑label products to a variety of retail channels, including supermarkets, convenience stores, and foodservice outlets. Its operations encompass product development, manufacturing, and logistics to ensure consistent availability of its snack portfolio. The firm’s headquarters are located in the United Kingdom, which serves as the central hub for its corporate functions. In addition to its core snack lines, the company periodically introduces limited‑edition flavors and seasonal variants to respond to changing consumer preferences. KP Snacks maintains a focus on meeting food safety and quality standards throughout its production processes.

KP Snacks distinguishes itself through its concentration on premium‑branded snack offerings and its investment in flavor innovation and product quality. The company supplies to a range of retail customers including major chains and independent outlets with a diverse portfolio of crisps, nuts, and popcorn. Its operational expertise lies in integrating product development with large‑scale manufacturing while maintaining strict food safety standards. Structurally, KP Snacks operates as a subsidiary of Intersnack Group GmbH & Co. KG, a multinational snack food corporation headquartered in Germany. This ownership provides the firm with access to broader research and development resources and international supply‑chain networks. In January 2022 the firm suffered a ransomware attack attributed to the Conti group, which temporarily disrupted production and distribution and led to the exposure of certain internal data. The incident prompted a coordinated response involving internal IT teams and external forensic specialists to restore services and strengthen cybersecurity defenses. Following the attack, KP Snacks communicated with stakeholders about the steps taken to mitigate the impact and to prevent future occurrences.
