What You Should Know

You'd find this in the organic snacks or health-food aisle, an easy grab at checkout or tossed into a work bag for a crunchy pick-me-up. It leans into nostalgic barbecue chip vibes but markets itself as a protein-forward, 'healthier' snack with a light smoky flavor. The uniform crisp texture and use of concentrated protein flours, flavor extracts and acidulants signal industrial processing and characteristics associated with ultra-processed snacks.
