What You Should Know

You'd spot this small bag in the snack aisle, specialty meat counter, or packed for a tailgate or road trip — an intensely crunchy, savory snack for salty cravings. The vibe is indulgent and a bit nostalgic (think backyard barbecues), and the ingredient list — fried pork skin and sea salt — signals a crisp, oil-fried texture produced with simple processing rather than the multi-ingredient formulations typical of ultra-processed products.
