Do food companies have separate packages for places at high altitude?

when we take a bag of chips to altitude, it greatly expands and somtimes pops, which makes sense with the difference in pressure. Yet when we go to the store at altitude, none of the bags of chips look like that. do they have separate batches with less air in them that are earmarked for altitude

    I live at 6500 feet, and I notice some bags at the store being inflated, and others not. Things produced here (Denver area) are not inflated, while things imported are.

    No, they don't. I live and work at an altitude of 7500 feet, and our chips come in flat, and bloat over time. We just order less, so the product does not sit as long. It's the same with my cereals in the plastic bowl, and other products.

    When I lived in Wyoming (5000 feet) we didn't have that problem.
