FAQ
How do ¡Yappah! Crisps compare taste-wise vs. other snacks?
Taste comes first! That’s why we sent our chef on a mission to use carefully selected forgotten ingredients & rescue them to create a completely new type of snack. The results: a delicious snack with all the flavor nuance of a meal.
Are there similar products out there?
Some snacks may include chicken, others may include rescued ingredients -- but no others include both.
Where do you source your ingredients?
¡YAPPAH! Protein Crisps help fight food waste by using safe and delicious ingredients that for a variety of reasons are surplus to their original requirements and would have otherwise been left behind if not included in ¡Yappah! Crisps.
What is the quality of your ingredients?
These are high-quality ingredients from reputable suppliers such as Tyson Foods and Molson Coors.

What is your brand / company about?
Up in the Andes, we were introduced to a tradition, on the verge of being forgotten, that made a big impact on us. It was the concept of “yapa,” and it refers to the little something extra a merchant gives to a valued customer, so that nothing gets wasted.
This concept inspired us. Because “Let’s waste food,” said no one. Ever. At Yappah Foods, we aim to Discover Beauty in the Forgotten™. Fighting food waste is just the beginning.
How does Tyson fit in?
¡Yappah! Crisps were created by the Tyson Innovation Lab. Tyson Innovation Lab is proud to be taking a lead role in finding an innovative way to get the public involved in reducing food waste. Tyson Innovation Lab is a specially-selected team charged with driving faster innovation, driving new growth and getting new products to market faster. In six months, the team works to design market launch ready products — this timing is 80 percent faster than traditional approaches with the goal of creating better products for humans.
What is Upcycled Chicken?
We use Tyson chicken breast tenders in ¡YAPPAH! Protein Crisps. At times, the cutting process for the chicken breast tenders leaves a trim. We upcycle this chicken tender trim into ¡YAPPAH! Protein Crisps to add value to an otherwise low-value trim. Once incorporated into the Protein Crisps, it adds flavor and protein.
What are rescued veggie purees?
Veggie purees are usually sold to make juice. The ones we are sourcing are close to their expiration date and would have been trashed if not given new life by being incorporated into ¡YAPPAH! Protein Crisps. They are perfectly good in terms of quality and provide great flavor.
What is rescued spent grain?
These spent grains (malted barley) are a byproduct of the beer brewing process. They would have been used for non-human consumption or trashed if not provided to us.
Why package it in a can?
Aluminum cans are fully recyclable. In this way the product helps fight food waste on the inside while the can fights packaging waste on the outside.
Recycle right at home, the same as any other standard aluminum can. If your city recycles, you can recycle this packaging.
How do the ¡YAPPAH! Protein Crisps help fight food waste?
¡YAPPAH! Protein Crisps help fight food waste by using safe and delicious ingredients that for a variety of reasons are surplus to their original requirements and would have otherwise been left behind.
Do ¡Yappah! Crisps expire?
Yes - as indicated on each individual can.
