ASEAN Records Honours SNACKISS Two-Tone Halal Sweet Potato Chip

Kuala Lumpur – October 12, 2026 -- ASEAN Records has recognised Malaysian manufacturer CWP Food Manufacturing Sdn Bhd as the maker of the first halal-certified sweet potato snack that fuses two differently coloured real sweet potato varieties into a single chip.

SNACKISS Double Triple Sweet Potato combines purple and orange varieties without artificial colouring

The product, sold under the SNACKISS brand, gets its two-toned look naturally from real purple and orange sweet potato. It has carried MS 1500 halal certification since 2021.

The two varieties differ in taste: purple sweet potato gives a sweeter profile, while orange contributes a more savoury character. General Manager Yanice Cheong Ming Yan drew the concept from childhood memories of sweet potato tong sui.
