What You Should Know

You'd find this bag in the chip aisle or toss it into a cart for movie nights, game days, or a snack to bring to a picnic — the kettle-cooked and avocado oil branding gives a slightly premium, better-for-you spin. It reads indulgent and familiar: crunchy, savory potato chips with a boosted seasoning profile. The long ingredient list (natural flavors, maltodextrin in vinegar powder, powdered acids and extracts) and the shelf-stable, uniform crispness signal industrial processing typical of ultraprocessed snacks.
