A familiar packet can contain a changed recipe. PepsiCo’s 13 October update describes how it has been altering parts of its global food and drink range.

What the company says
The company describes work on added sugar, sodium and saturated fat, alongside products featuring whole grains, fibre or protein. It gives examples from several markets, including European Doritos reformulation.
These are company statements. We have not independently audited every product or verified the claimed portfolio-wide progress. A European example does not establish the recipe of an Indian packet.

What to compare before buying
Look for the exact flavour, pack and country. Then compare the full ingredients and nutrition on the same basis. Keep an older pack photo only if its date and version are clear.
A new front-of-pack benefit can coexist with other ingredients you want to check. “More fibre” does not answer a separate question about sodium or added sugar.

Why the review date matters
Our product histories separate when a record was added, scored and updated. They help you identify the review version, but the pack in your hand remains the closest source for what you bought.
