What You Should Know

You’d spot this 1.5 oz bag in the snack aisle or stacked by the checkout — an easy grab for movie nights, lunchboxes, or road trips. It feels indulgent and a little nostalgic (classic ridged, cheddar-and-sour-cream chips), while the ingredient list and seasoning powders reveal an industrially engineered product: crisp fried potato texture from vegetable oils and an array of powdered flavorings and additives typical of ultra-processed snacks.
