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

Three ingredients: corn, oil and salt — exactly what a tortilla chip should be, with no dyes, MSG or flavor powders. It is still a fried, refined-oil snack, so it is not a health food, but the formula is about as clean as bagged chips get. A reasonable everyday chip to eat in normal portions.

Why this verdict

Clean, three-ingredient list: white corn, vegetable oil and salt
No artificial colors, flavor enhancers, maltodextrin or preservatives
Still a deep-fried snack in a generic refined-oil blend, so portion matters
Clean short list protects it from an ENGINEERED/DUMP rating — the shape is processed, the ingredients are not

Ingredients (3)

White Corn (safe) — Ground corn is the whole-food base of the chip.
Vegetable oil (corn, soybean, canola and/or sunflower) (moderate) — Generic refined frying-oil blend. Fine in moderation but calorie-dense and not a specified single oil.
Salt (moderate) — Main sodium source; keep an eye on it if you use large amounts.
