White Cheddar Cheese Curls, 7 OZ
What You Should Know
You'd spot these in the snack aisle or toss a bag into your cart for movie night, road trips, or a casual get-together—an easy grab-and-go crunchy snack. The vibe is nostalgic and indulgent, recalling childhood cheese puffs with an airy, uniform crunch; the ingredients list (maltodextrin, isolated dairy powders, "natural flavor", and industrial oils) and implied processes (extrusion/puffing and flavor-spray) are classic signs of an ultra-processed product.
