What You Should Know

Cape Cod® Original Reduced Fat (10 oz) is presented as a premium kettle chip that promises the familiar, hearty crunch of traditional potato chips with a lighter-fat positioning. You'd spot it in the snack aisle alongside other potato chips, kettle-cooked varieties, and premium salty snacks — often next to branded dips, pretzels, and party mixes. It fits casual occasions like game-day gatherings, movie nights, backyard picnics or road trips where people want a shareable, crunchy snack. The brand leans into an artisanal, New England–inspired identity: rugged, honest, and quality-focused. Marketing appeals to adults who value texture and flavor but may be calorie-conscious; the ‘‘less fat’’ and ‘‘40% less fat than the leading potato chip’’ callouts create a health-halo without changing the classic snacking role. The front label emphasizes a simple ingredient list — potatoes, vegetable oil, sea salt — and uses language like "simple recipe" and "premium ingredients," but it does not carry organic certification or children-targeted branding. From a processing perspective, it’s a fried, kettle-cooked snack made from whole potatoes with added cooking oil and salt (a processed food rather than an ultra-formulated product). Sensory notes: thick, irregular kettle-cut slices with a pronounced crunch, a toasty potato aroma, and a clean salty finish; the bag is typically a foil-lined 10 oz pouch that preserves crispness and invites communal dipping or casual hand-to-mouth snacking. Rituals include opening for gatherings, carrying in picnic coolers, or pairing with sandwiches and soft drinks for a familiar American snack moment.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:3 / 4

Processed Food

Why this score?

Made from whole potatoes with vegetable oil and sea salt and produced by industrial frying/kettle-cooking, it is a processed food with minimal ingredient list rather than a highly reformulated ultra-processed product. The absence of emulsifiers, flavors, or preservatives on the label supports a NOVA 3 classification.
