Plain Salted Potato Chips — TREAT
Munch or Dump rates Plain Salted Potato Chips by Yellow diamond TREAT — score 45/90.
A short, honest 3-ingredient list, but it's potatoes deep-fried in refined palm oil and salted. Simple, yet a fat-and-salt indulgence, not a health food.
Why this verdict
- Deep-fried in refined palm oil, so it's fat-heavy (~30g fat per 100g, ~14g saturated)
- Salty and calorie-dense (~530 kcal per 100g) — easy to overeat
- Simple list (just potato, oil, salt) keeps it an honest treat, not engineered junk
- No artificial colors, flavors, or additives to flag
Ingredients (3)
- Handpicked Potatoes (safe) — Whole potato is fine on its own — the issue is what frying does to it, not the spud.
- Edible Vegetable Oil (Palmolein) (moderate) — Refined palm oil used for deep-frying; high in saturated fat and the main reason these are calorie-dense.
- Salt (1.2%) (moderate) — Adds meaningful sodium; fine in small amounts but a bag adds up fast.
