Red Chile Potato Chips — TREAT

Name: Red Chile Potato Chips
Brand: Diego's Chips

Munch or Dump rates Red Chile Potato Chips by Diego's Chips TREAT — score 45/90.

A simple, honest potato chip: potatoes fried in oil with chile seasoning and salt. No maltodextrin, no artificial colors, no flavor-enhancer stacks. It's still deep-fried and salty, so it's an indulgence, not health food.

Why this verdict

Deep-fried in a refined seed-oil blend (cottonseed/canola/corn/sunflower/safflower)
High sodium (~490mg per ~28g serving) plus added salt in the seasoning
Fat-heavy indulgence, 10g fat per small serving
But the list is short and additive-free, no maltodextrin or artificial colors

Ingredients (4)

potatoes (safe) — Whole potato base - a real food.
Vegetable oil (cottonseed/canola/corn/sunflower/safflower) (moderate) — Refined seed-oil blend used for deep frying; high in omega-6 and energy-dense.
Red chili seasoning (spice, salt, chili pepper, dehydrated garlic) (safe) — Real spice blend with no MSG, maltodextrin, or artificial enhancers; the salt component adds to sodium load.
Salt (moderate) — Used in moderation, might exceed necessary amount.
