What You Should Know

You'd find UGLIES SNACKS Jalapeno Potato Chips in the snack aisle or tossed onto a spread at a backyard BBQ, movie night, or road trip — a crunchy, spicy bag that reads both indulgent and slightly 'crafty'. The branding and simple base ingredient (potatoes) give a wholesome nod, but the ingredient list and frying imply an engineered, shelf-stable snack. The presence of maltodextrin, dextrose, yeast extracts, natural flavors and color extracts points to industrial processing that delivers consistent texture, long shelf life, and intensified flavor.
