What You Should Know

A small 1.5 oz bag of jalapeño chips you'd grab from the snack aisle, checkout, or toss into a cooler for a road trip or game-day spread. The bright, crunchy bite and concentrated heat come from industrial processing—ingredients like dextrose, maltodextrin, added sugar, refined seed oils and "natural flavors" create the texture and intense flavor, which is typical of NOVA 4 ultra-processed snacks.
