Good & Gather Sea Salt & Vinegar Kettle Cooked Potato Chips — TREAT

Munch or Dump rates Good & Gather Sea Salt & Vinegar Kettle Cooked Potato Chips by Good & Gather TREAT — score 43/90.

A short, recognizable list — potatoes, oil, and a sea-salt-and-vinegar tang built from real vinegar and citric acid. The only processed marker is potato maltodextrin, a flavor carrier. It is a fried potato snack: enjoyable and simple, but the fat and salt mean it is an occasional thing, not a staple.

Why this verdict

• Kettle-fried in refined vegetable oil — fat-heavy snack
• Potato maltodextrin present as a flavor carrier
• High sodium from the sea-salt-and-vinegar coating
• No artificial colors or flavors — seasoning is real vinegar and citric acid
• Simple, recognizable ingredient list for a chip

Ingredients (6)

• potatoes (safe) — Whole potato base - a real food.
• Vegetable Oil (sunflower, corn and/or canola) (moderate) — Refined frying oil. Fine in small amounts; the main reason a chip is calorie- and fat-dense.
• Potato Maltodextrin (moderate) — A processed starch used to carry the salt-and-vinegar flavor. Harmless but a marker of processing.
• Sea Salt (moderate) — Sodium source; no nutritional edge over regular salt.
• citric acid (safe) — Acidity and tartness adjuster.
• vinegar (safe) — Mild preservative and flavor enhancer.
