Central Market Organic Restaurant Style Tortilla Chips — OKAY

Munch or Dump rates Central Market Organic Restaurant Style Tortilla Chips by Central Market OKAY — score 62/90.

The thin white-corn cousin of the blue chip, and just as clean: organic stone-ground corn, one expeller-pressed oil, sea salt, water, and a trace of lime. No artificial anything. A fried, salted snack made from real ingredients — solid for what it is, but still a chip.

Why this verdict

• Five clean ingredients, all organic or whole-food
• Nixtamalized with a trace of lime the traditional way
• No maltodextrin, MSG, artificial flavors, or colors
• Expeller-pressed oil rather than solvent-extracted
• Thin fried chip — sodium and fat keep it at snack level

Ingredients (5)

• Organic Stone Ground White Corn (safe) — Whole-grain corn base, minimally milled.
• Organic Expeller Pressed Sunflower and/or Safflower Oil (moderate) — Mechanically pressed frying oil; refined but cleaner than solvent-extracted.
• Sea Salt (moderate) — The only seasoning; pushes sodium high for the portion size but nothing artificial.
• Water (safe) — Packing liquid; keeps calories and fat minimal versus oil-packed.
• Trace of lime (safe) — Calcium hydroxide for nixtamalization, a traditional corn treatment.
