What You Should Know

You'll find this 16 oz bag in the chips aisle or near taco kits and salsas, pulled out for game nights, parties, or casual snack moments. Made from stone-ground white corn with just oil, water, lime and salt, it has a crispy, nostalgic, indulgent vibe; the simple ingredient list plus industrial frying and packaging points to a processed snack rather than a heavily reformulated ultra-processed product.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:3 / 4

Processed Food

Why this score?

Uses a whole-food base (stone-ground corn) with added culinary ingredients (oils, salt) and lacks industrial additives; industrial frying and packaging make it a processed food (NOVA 3) rather than an ultra-processed formulation.

Well, it depends on what you mean by healthy! If you’re looking for a crunchy snack that’s low in sugar and free from artificial additives, these chips fit the bill. That said, they do contain oils and are higher in carbs, so moderation is key, especially if you're watching your overall intake.
