What You Should Know

You’d find this thin, crispy cheddar sour cream bag in the chips aisle or on a party snack table — an easy grab for movie nights or picnics. It gives a familiar, indulgent crunch with a slightly “better-for-you” marketing tone (avocado oil) but still feels like a packaged snack. The thin texture and long ingredient list of flavorings and stabilizers hint at industrial processing and reformulation typical of ultra‑processed foods.
