Tortilla Chips, 16 OZ

You'd spot this bag in the chips aisle or next to the salsa at a party, and it's the kind of snack you bring for game nights, movie nights, or impromptu get-togethers. The vibe is indulgent and familiar — crunchy, salty, and comforting — but its ready-to-eat, industrially produced form and use of refined oils signal ultra-processed textures and convenience. Although the ingredient list reads simply, the manufacturing and frying/packaging processes and formulation point to mass-produced snack food characteristics.
