Organic Zesty Ranch Garden Veggie Straws, 4.25 OZ
What You Should Know
You’d spot this in the supermarket snack aisle or packed in a lunchbox — a bright bag of crunchy, ranch‑seasoned veggie straws marketed as a healthier snack. It has a nostalgic, kid‑friendly, indulgent vibe: airy, crispy texture and tangy ranch flavor. The long ingredient list with maltodextrin, palm shortening, natural flavors, yeast extract and multiple dehydrated/processed powders signals heavy industrial processing typical of ultra‑processed products (NOVA hints).
