Tim's Cascade Snacks

The company was founded in 1986 by Tim Kennedy, and their production facilities are located in the U.S. state of Washington. Kennedy began cooking chips in 100% peanut oil, but after being acquired by Pinnacle Foods, the factory switched to substituting cheaper alternatives like corn oil and sunflower oil. Tim's no longer states that they cook their product in small batches anymore. In 2019, it was acquired by Utz Brand. == Products ==

Tim's potato chips, packaged in red-and-white-striped bags, were kettle-cooked in small batches until 2019. Tim's sales are most prominent in the Pacific Northwest, but are also distributed throughout the United States and some parts of Asia. In 2018, two consumers sued Conagra Foods, then the owner of the Tim's Cascade brand, because its "Hawaiian" themed products were made in Washington, not in Hawaii, and not with Hawaiian ingredients. The products at issue were Hawaiian Kettle Style Potato Chips, Hawaiian Luau Barbeque Rings and Hawaiian Sweet Maui Onion Rings. ==References==
