Extruded snack foods are made by the extrusion of various ingredients such as corn, tapioca, oats, potatoes, wheat, etc. Some of the most prevalent extruded snack foods include breakfast cereals, corn curls, onion rings, pasta, fish paste, jelly beans, macaroni, processed cheese, breads, etc. The extrusion process offers the ability to choose the ingredients and the ways of processing them. Manufacturers use this in order to produce healthier snacks with varied ingredients. Moreover, the extrusion process eliminates some of the naturally occurring toxins and reduces the micro-organisms present in the final product, thereby making them safer for consumption. According to IMARC Group, the global extruded snack food market reached a value of around US$ 80.6 Billion in 2018, growing at a CAGR of around 3% during 2011-2018.
