Sour cream is cream fermented with lactic acid bacteria, which thicken it and give it a mild, tangy taste. In snacks it appears as dried sour cream powder in the seasoning, nearly always paired with something sharper: onion, chive or cheddar. The flavour works on any snack type.
Sour cream and onion, a staple of chip brands, is here on Price E. Hunt potato chips and on Lay’s Stax and Lay’s Flat from Thailand. Pfeiffer’s Sour Cream and Chive Flavour Pretzel Splits pair it with chive, and Chip Thunder and Doritos Extreme pair it with cheddar. Snack Jack - Sour Cream Flavor puts it on green peas.
Sour cream seasoning is made from milk, so these snacks contain dairy.
