The commercial food industry is seeing drastic visual changes on store shelves due to external issues that make it difficult to obtain basic packaging components.
Japanese snack giant Calbee announced that it will temporarily replace the colors of 14 of its most consumed products, including potato chips and shrimp crackers, with a minimalist, colorless design.
The food corporation explained that this measure in the production line seeks to ensure a continuous supply in stores across Japan from May 25, 2026, given the instability of essential raw materials in the region’s commercial market.
