What You Should Know

You’d find this in the organic/snack aisle or on a picnic spread when you want a crunchy, salty alternative to potato chips — ideal for movie nights or a road-trip snack. It gives a slightly indulgent, tropical and adventurous vibe: crisp cassava fried in coconut oil with a hint of mineral salt, positioned as a healthier snack option. The crunchy, shelf-stable chip format and industrial frying/packaging point to significant processing despite the short ingredient list, which is characteristic of ultra-processed snack foods.

Ultra-Processed

Why this score?

The snack format and processing steps, not just ingredients, drive this classification.
