What You Should Know

You'd spot this in the organic snack aisle or pull it from a picnic basket or party spread — a go-to for movie nights and casual gatherings. The vibe is wholesome and a bit nostalgic, evoking traditional tortilla chips with a clean ingredient list and crunchy texture from nixtamalized corn rather than industrial additives. The simple ingredients and traditional nixtamalization hint at thoughtful processing for texture and flavor, not the multi-ingredient formulations of ultra-processed foods.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:3 / 4

Processed Food

Why this score?

Ingredients are only nixtamalized corn, water, lime and salt — traditional processing that changes texture and nutrient availability but uses whole-food inputs. Absence of emulsifiers, artificial flavors or long additive lists indicates a processed (NOVA 3) product rather than ultra-processed (NOVA 4).
