Sugar, Spice, and Always Be Nice—to Animals

Spicing up your snack game is just the beginning—going vegan is buying a one-way ticket to saving animals, protecting the planet, and boosting your own health. If you like these swicy vegan snacks, check out PETAs’ picks for vegan hot chips and “cheesy” snacks.

Many chips are vegan-friendly, but some contain hidden dairy ingredients—meaning they’re made with milk that humans stole from exploited cows. Cows are protective, nurturing mothers who produce milk to feed their babies—not for chips or dip. If you’ve already made the compassionate switch, help a loved one do the same by ordering them a free vegan starter kit!
