Cape Cod makes kettle-cooked potato crisps, fried in small batches so they stay hard and irregular rather than uniform. Founded on Cape Cod in 1980, the brand came to Campbell's with the Snyder's-Lance acquisition in 2018.
Campbell's bought snack maker Snyder's-Lance for $50 per share in cash, roughly doubling the size of its snacks business and moving the company away from its dependence on condensed soup, a category in long-term decline.
