What You Should Know

You'd find this bag in the snack aisle or the natural/health-food section — a lime-scented, grain-free chip aimed at gluten-free and paleo-minded shoppers. It reads as a cleaner-label, health-forward snack: bright, zesty and convenient rather than indulgent. The ingredient list (cassava flour/starch, simple oils, salt and flavoring) points to refined plant starches and industrial processing for a crisp texture, but with few of the long ingredient lists or synthetic additives typical of heavily ultraprocessed foods.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:3 / 4

Processed Food

Why this score?

Made from isolated cassava flour/starch, added oils and simple seasonings (citric acid, lime oil) and produced into a ready-to-eat crunchy snack; it reflects industrial processing but lacks the complex formulations and numerous synthetic additives that characterize NOVA 4 ultraprocessed foods.
