PepsiCo is undergoing its most significant snack reset in years, driven by a need to streamline operations, improve margins, and appeal to health-conscious consumers. This involves cutting nearly 20% of its US SKUs and closing plants, while simultaneously pivoting towards functional snacking with added protein and fiber, and expanding into new food territories through acquisitions and new concepts like restaurant-style offerings. The company aims to become a more agile food business, but faces challenges from a competitive market, evolving consumer expectations, and an unstable economic environment.
