What You Should Know

You’d spot these chips in the snack or natural-foods aisle — a grab-and-go option for movie nights or a health-minded picnic. The bag gives a crunchy, savory nacho vibe that feels both wholesome and a little indulgent; ingredients are mostly recognizable (cassava, avocado oil, spices) but the industrial processing (formed, seasoned, shelf-stable chips) explains the extra crisp texture and concentrated flavor. Overall, it leans toward a minimally-adapted snack rather than a bag of whole vegetables, with one or two additives (citric acid) hinting at industrial processing.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:3 / 4

Processed Food

Why this score?

Mostly whole-food ingredients (cassava flour, avocado oil, spices) but made into an industrially produced, shelf-stable flavored chip; limited additives (citric acid) and manufacturing place it in NOVA group 3 (processed) rather than fully ultra-processed.
