Protein Chips Manufacturing at Foodiva
Manufacturing successful protein chips requires more than simply adding protein powder to a conventional snack formulation. Higher protein levels affect expansion, density, crispness, color, flavor and processing behavior during extrusion.
Foodiva combines formulation development, twin-screw extrusion and commercial manufacturing to develop high-protein snacks that balance nutritional objectives with texture, taste and production consistency.
Projects can begin with an existing Foodiva platform, an adapted formulation, a customer's product brief or a physical benchmark product.
Commercial High-Protein Snack Platform
Foodiva's existing commercial Protein Pops platform reaches approximately 26-27 g protein per 100 g, using a lentil-based formulation with 33% pea protein.
This commercial platform demonstrates Foodiva's experience manufacturing plant-based extruded snacks at protein levels significantly above conventional puff snacks while maintaining a crispy, enjoyable eating experience.
Custom projects do not need to use the same formulation or protein level. Protein targets, ingredients, texture and nutritional positioning can be evaluated according to the product brief.

Private Label Protein Chips Manufacturing
Foodiva provides private label protein chip manufacturing for established food companies, emerging brands, retailers, distributors and importers. Depending on the project, customers can begin from an existing Foodiva platform, adapt an existing formulation or develop a new product specifically for their market.
What Can Be Customized?
Standard private-label MOQ: 15,000 finished units per flavor, per package format.
Protein Sources & Ingredient Systems
Balancing Protein, Expansion & Texture
Increasing protein in an extruded snack changes how the formulation behaves during processing. Higher protein levels can reduce expansion and create a denser or harder finished product if the formulation and extrusion conditions are not properly balanced.
Foodiva evaluates formulation, moisture, extrusion conditions and die geometry together to establish a processing window capable of producing consistent results at commercial scale.
Higher Protein → Formulation Adjustment → Extrusion Optimization → Texture Evaluation → Commercial Scale-Up
Have a Protein Chip You Want Us to Benchmark?
If you already sell protein chips — or have a product whose shape, texture or eating experience represents your target — you can send Foodiva a physical benchmark sample.
Our development team can evaluate characteristics such as shape, dimensions, expansion, density, internal structure, crispness, protein target and flavor direction.
The purpose is not to copy another manufacturer's formulation. The benchmark provides a clear sensory and commercial target from which Foodiva can develop a product suitable for our manufacturing process.
Protein Chip Shapes & Formats
Shape availability depends on formulation, protein level, expansion characteristics and technical feasibility.
Protein Chip Flavor Development
Protein chips can be developed across familiar and differentiated flavor profiles. Seasoning selection is evaluated alongside the base formulation because protein level, surface characteristics and oil application can influence flavor delivery.
Savory examples:
Custom: Customer-developed seasoning; market-specific flavor profiles; clean-label-oriented concepts subject to formulation.
Private Label Packaging
Foodiva supports private-label packaging for commercial protein-chip projects, including customer-branded pillow bags and different package sizes subject to product and packaging requirements.
Printed film: Standard minimum print order approximately 500 kg total, generally capable of being divided across 2-3 designs subject to confirmation.
Printed film lead time: Typically 3-4 weeks.
Production: Typically 2-4 weeks after specifications, materials and production scheduling are confirmed.
