What You Should Know

You'd find these in the chip aisle or the natural snacks section — a crunchy, tropical alternative to potato chips for snack runs, road trips, or casual gatherings. They feel indulgent and a bit adventurous yet familiar, offering salty comfort with a sun‑soaked plantain twist. The short ingredient list and fried, packaged format point to mechanical processing (sliced and fried for crispness) with no complex additives, more characteristic of processed snacks than highly industrialized ultra‑formulations.

NOVA Score:3 / 4

Processed Food

Made from sliced plantains fried in added palm oil with sea salt and then packaged; the simple ingredients but clear industrial processing (frying, packaging) align with NOVA group 3 (processed foods) rather than ultra‑processed group 4.
