Haitai Confectionery & Foods launches stick-style nachos ‘Grilled Nacho’ made with a grill method
Structure of a corn snack made with the grill method
Haitai Confectionery & Foods has launched ‘Grilled Nacho,’ a corn snack nacho made in stick form. This is the first time a nacho, which originated in Mexico, has been released in stick-snack form in Korea. The product was made to be less greasy by applying the grill method, a technique the company has refined over 25 years.
Positioned as the 12th product in the Goun Stick Series
Grilled Nacho is the 12th product in Haitai Confectionery & Foods’ Goun Stick Series, which began with the launch of Haitai Baked Potato Stick in 2002. The company expanded the main ingredient from potato and sweet potato to corn to create a stick-style nacho.
Dual corn flour blend structure
The key ingredient, corn flour, is processed in two stages. Fine corn flour is mixed with coarse particles to deliver both a soft texture and a crisp bite. When bitten, the firm outer layer first gives way to a crunchy texture, followed by a light, crisp finish.
A blend of sea salt and onion aroma
The grill method brings out the naturally savory flavor of corn, while sea salt and a subtle onion aroma are added for balance. Because no oil is used, the snack emphasizes the original flavor of the ingredients and delivers a clean, light taste.
Packaging design based on traditional Mexican patterns
The packaging uses a green background with geometric patterns inspired by traditional Mexican motifs. It captures the vibrant spirit of Mexico, the birthplace of nachos, and creates an exotic feel.
A Haitai Confectionery & Foods official said, “This is a product that lets consumers enjoy nachos in a new way through the Goun Stick Series, which is grilled for a cleaner and lighter taste. We plan to continue introducing more diverse and distinctive grilled stick products unique to Haitai.”
