What You Should Know

You'd spot this bag in the snack aisle, near other savory crisps, or pull it out at a backyard BBQ or game-night — an indulgent, salty crunchy snack with a nostalgic, old-school pork rind vibe. The short ingredient list (fried pork skin, salt, a touch of coconut palm sugar and spices) delivers that crisp, fatty texture from frying rather than from industrial additives. That simple formulation and frying-based texture point toward a processed snack rather than a highly engineered ultra-processed product.
