Santitas Yellow Corn Chips
What You Should Know
Santitas Yellow Corn Chips (11 oz) read like a pantry staple: an inexpensive, no-frills bag of salty, crunchy tortilla chips that you’d spot sitting on the grocery store snack aisle next to other tortilla chips, salsas, jarred dips and party mixes — and sometimes on endcaps in the Hispanic/ethnic foods section. They fit casual shopping trips for weekly groceries, party pick-ups, road-trip snack runs, or last-minute additions for movie nights and backyard barbecues. The brand is positioned as a value-oriented, everyday option: familiar to multigenerational households, often associated with home-style Mexican and Tex-Mex snacks, and marketed toward budget-conscious shoppers who want a classic chip rather than a specialty or “gourmet” option. The packaging and label are straightforward — bold, bright graphics highlighting “yellow corn” and the chip itself, with little in the way of kid-targeted gimmicks or health-halo certifications; you typically won’t see organic or non-GMO badges or extensive “natural” claims on this SKU. In plain terms, these chips are produced by milling corn and cooking it in vegetable oil, then bagging for retail — a processed snack made from a short list of ingredients (corn, vegetable oil and salt). Sensory-wise they offer a corn-forward aroma, a crisp, sturdy snap and a coarse, slightly gritty texture that holds up to scooping and dipping. The 11 oz flexible bag is ideal for sharing at gatherings; the common ritual is tearing it open, reaching in for chips to pair with salsa, queso, guacamole or to crumble over nachos and soups. Nutrition labeling lists about 140 calories and 115 mg sodium per serving.
