Great Value Bite Size Tortilla Chips — TREAT

Munch or Dump rates Great Value Bite Size Tortilla Chips by Great Value TREAT — score 45/90.

Three ingredients, under two bucks, and nothing weird: corn, oil, salt. It's still a fried chip — calorie-dense and dangerously easy to demolish — but as snack-aisle chips go, this is about as clean as it gets. Portion it and enjoy.

Why this verdict

• Three ingredients total — ground white corn, vegetable oil, salt — and you can pronounce all of them
• Fried in refined vegetable oil, so it's calorie-dense: roughly 140 kcal per ounce with 7g of fat
• Whole ground corn keeps real fiber in the chip (about 2g per serving) — more than most fried snacks
• Zero dyes, zero flavor enhancers, zero preservatives — rare for the chip aisle

Ingredients (3)

• Ground White Corn (safe) — Whole ground corn — the actual food here, and it brings real fiber with it.
• Vegetable oil (corn, sunflower, safflower, or canola) (moderate) — Refined frying oil, and the blend changes batch to batch. Mostly unsaturated fat, but it's what makes each ounce ~140 calories.
• Salt (moderate) — ~260mg sodium per packet — sweet AND salty is the palatability play.
