Aged White Cheddar Pirate's Booty Puffs, 4 OZ
What You Should Know
You'd find this bag in the chip aisle, snack cupboard, or passed around at movie nights and kids' lunchboxes — a quick, crunchy pick-me-up for casual occasions. Its airy, cheesy, nostalgic vibe masks heavy industrial processing: refined starches, added maltodextrin and vegetable oils, and 'natural flavors' used to create the puffed texture and intense cheese note, hallmarks of ultra-processed snacks.
