What You Should Know

You'd spot these organic tri-color tortilla strips in the snack aisle or grab-and-go section at Whole Foods, often picked up for game nights, dips, or to sprinkle over salads. They give a wholesome, slightly nostalgic chip vibe — familiar corn flavor and crunchy texture marketed as a 'healthier' organic snack. The short ingredient list (corn flour, expeller-pressed sunflower oil, sea salt) and typical baking/frying processing point to a processed snack made from whole-food ingredients rather than a heavily reformulated ultra-processed product.

Its manufacturing (dough formation and baking/frying) and simple ingredient list align with NOVA's 'processed foods' category rather than the ultra-processed category.

Common Questions about Organic Tri-Color Tortilla Strips, 3.5 OZ

Well, that depends on how you define 'healthy'! These strips are made from organic corn flour and have no added sugars or preservatives, which is a win. However, they're not particularly high in fiber or protein, so they’re more of a fun snack or crunchy topping rather than a health food staple.
