Cape Cod Kettle Cooked Potato Chips, Original — TREAT

Munch or Dump rates Cape Cod Kettle Cooked Potato Chips, Original by Cape Cod TREAT — score 45/90.

Just potatoes, oil, and salt fried in a kettle. A clean, simple list, but it's still a deep-fried salty snack, so treat it as an indulgence, not a health food.

Why this verdict

• Only 3 ingredients, all recognizable, with no additives or flavor enhancers
• Kettle-fried, so it's fat-heavy (~8g per ounce)
• Salted snack that adds up on sodium quickly
• Simple but indulgent, easy to overeat

Ingredients (3)

• potatoes (safe) — Whole potato base - a real food.
• Vegetable oil (canola, safflower and/or sunflower) (moderate) — Reasonable frying oils, but frying loads the chips with fat and calories regardless of which oil is used.
• Salt (moderate) — Used in moderation, might exceed necessary amount.
