Herr’s has announced the winners in its annual Flavored by Philly campaign.

This year’s competition had a bit of a twist to it. Instead of submitting new flavor ideas, the public selected from a curated lineup of flavors the company said define both Philadelphia and the nation.

With flavors inspired by the ideals of freedom, liberty and unity — the competition was renamed for this year to Flavored By Philly: Taste the 250 — in honor of the nation’s 250th birthday.

2026 Herr’s Flavored by Philly: Taste the 250 winners

• Freedom Loaded Cheese Fries is a ripple potato chip seasoned to taste like crispy French fries topped with creamy cheese and smoky bacon. The chip is inspired by the bold and enduring vision of American independence first declared at Independence Hall in Philadelphia, Herr’s said in its announcement of the winning flavors.

• Liberty Hickory Barbeque is a ripple potato chip packed with barbecue-sauce flavor combined with sweet molasses and a smoky hickory flavor. It pays homage to the Liberty Bell.

• United Jalapeño Cream Cheese is a ripple potato chip with bold cream cheese flavor paired with mild jalapeño pepper spice. This chip is inspired by the spirit of Betsy Ross, attributed with designing the first American flag and whose house in Philadelphia stands as a symbol of unity.

“America’s 250th is an amazing time to be able to share potato chip flavors made by the people for the people,” Herr’s Executive Chairman Ed Herr said in a statement. “Flavored by Philly: Taste the 250 is our way of honoring the city that continues to inspire our flavors and our fans.”

This is the fifth year for the Flavored by Philly competition, which has become a popular event each year. This year was no exception: Nearly 100,000 votes were received during public voting from Nov. 12 through Dec. 10, the company said. The winning flavors are available in stores and online for the summer.

Herr’s Flavored by Philly launched in 2021 as a “love letter” to the region’s food scene and community pride, the company said. Past flavor finalists — like cheesesteaks, roast pork and tomato pie — have paid homage to the tastes that make Philly one of a kind, the company said.
