Cape Cod Less Fat Sea Salt and Vinegar

Cape Cod Less Fat Sea Salt & Vinegar is a 7.5 oz bag of kettle-style potato chips sold in the salty snacks aisle, typically shelved with other premium and kettle-cooked chips and near crackers, pretzels, and party dip mixers. The brand leans into a New England, artisanal image — thick-cut, hearty crunch, and a straightforward ingredient callout — while this “less fat” variety signals a lighter take aimed at calorie-conscious shoppers who still want the tactile satisfaction of a kettle chip. You’ll find these in shopping trips for casual entertaining, picnic or beach days, game-day spreads, and solo movie nights or road trips. Packaging is a single-use, brightly printed foil-lined bag that preserves crispness; opening it releases an assertive salty-tang aroma of vinegar. The chip texture is rigid and crunchy with visible kettle ridges and a concentrated, puckering sourness from vinegar powder and acidulants; a hint of sweetness from dextrose smooths the edge. Label claims emphasize “Less Fat” and classic flavors rather than organic or natural certification, and there’s no child-focused branding — the appeal is adult and nostalgic, positioned as a slightly better-for-you treat from a heritage snack maker. Processing context: these are industrially produced, batch-kettle cooked chips that use refined vegetable oils, vinegar powders and acids to recreate and concentrate flavor. Rituals include sharing from the bag at tailgates, stacking with deli sandwiches, or scooping with onion dip. Despite premium cues, the ingredient list and processing techniques place it firmly among modern packaged snacks rather than fresh or minimally processed foods.
