What You Should Know

You'd find this bright bag in the supermarket snack aisle or tossed into a lunchbox or movie-night spread; it reads like a lighter, kid-friendly alternative to potato chips. The airy, uniform crunch and list of refined starches, vegetable powders and blended oils point to industrial reformation and flavoring rather than whole-ingredient snack prep, which is typical of ultra-processed products.

Well, that depends on your definition of 'healthy'! The Veggie Straws are lower in sugar and calories compared to traditional potato chips, making them a decent snack option if you're looking for something crunchy. However, they don’t pack a protein or fiber punch, so they might not be the best choice if you’re aiming for a super nutritious snack.
