Latiao () is a popular Chinese snack. Latiao consists of strips made with wheat flour (especially wheat gluten), flavored with chili pepper. It is chewy, spicy, and tangy.
Latiao is commercially produced by extrusion from a mixture of gluten-rich dough. Beyond chili pepper, salt, sugar, and other spices are commonly used. Commercial preparations may contain flavor enhancers, pigments, and preservatives. Specific additives used in latiao have been the subject of scrutiny in China.
