Organic Sea Salt Multigrain Tortilla Chips — OKAY

Munch or Dump rates Organic Sea Salt Multigrain Tortilla Chips by Late July Snacks OKAY — score 62/90.

A genuinely clean corn chip - whole grains, seeds, and unrefined oil with nothing artificial - but it's still a fried, salted snack, so it's an OKAY, not a health food.

Why this verdict

• Whole ground corn plus whole grains and seeds - no refined-flour filler
• Zero artificial colors, flavors, preservatives, or emulsifiers
• Only a trace of added cane sugar and sea salt
• Still fried in oil and salted - a snack, not a health food
• Corn dominates; the chia/quinoa/amaranth are a minor sprinkle

Ingredients (7)

• Organic whole ground corn (safe) — Whole-grain corn milled with the germ and bran intact, so it keeps some fiber and nutrients instead of being refined masa.
• Organic sunflower/safflower oil (moderate) — Organic but still a refined frying oil; drives the fat and calories.
• organic brown rice (safe) — Whole grain providing complex carbohydrates and fiber.
• Organic Chia Seeds (safe) — Omega-3 and fiber source.
• Organic seed blend (flax, millet, brown rice, quinoa, amaranth) (safe) — Whole grains and seeds - nutritious, but a minor fraction of the chip.
• organic evaporated cane sugar (moderate) — Added sugar, but only a trace (about 1g per serving).
• Sea Salt (moderate) — Sodium source; no nutritional edge over regular salt.
