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.
A genuinely clean 3-ingredient chip, but it's still fried potatoes in oil with salt, so treat it like the salty indulgence it is.
Why this verdict
- Only 3 ingredients, all recognizable, no artificial additives
- Fried in refined seed oils (canola/sunflower/safflower), so fat- and calorie-dense
- Sea salt adds a meaningful sodium load per serving
- Simple but indulgent, an occasional snack not an everyday food
Ingredients (3)
- potatoes (safe) — A whole-food base, though deep-frying turns it starchy, oily, and calorie-dense.
- Vegetable Oils (Canola, Sunflower and/or Safflower) (moderate) — Refined seed oils used for frying add substantial fat and calories; fine in moderation but the reason chips are indulgent.
- Sea Salt (safe) — Small amount for flavor balance.
