What You Should Know

You'd spot this bag in the snack aisle or grab it for a picnic, movie night, or a quick crunchy add-on to lunch. It feels simple and slightly nostalgic — a salty, crunchy, casual indulgence rather than a gourmet or health-food statement. The short ingredient list and crisp texture point to roasted/fried whole corn kernels with oil and salt, suggesting processed preparation methods rather than heavy industrial reformulation.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:3 / 4

Processed Food
