By Dean Seal

 

PepsiCo has agreed to acquire tortilla-chip maker Siete Foods for $1.2 billion, confirming an earlier report by The Wall Street Journal.

The snack and beverage giant said Tuesday it has reached a deal to acquire Garza Food Ventures, which does business as Siete Foods, that is expected to close in the first half of next year.

The Texas-based Siete specializes in Mexican-inspired products including tortilla chips, soft tortillas and jarred enchilada mix.

PepsiCo said Siete's products would complement its portfolio and build out its better-for-you offerings.

The Wall Street Journal reported Monday that PepsiCo was in advanced talks to acquire Siete, citing unnamed sources.
