Name: Red Quinoa Chia Corn Tortilla Chips
Brand: Member's Mark

Munch or Dump rates Red Quinoa Chia Corn Tortilla Chips by Member's Mark TREAT — score 45/90.

Fried corn chips with a sprinkle of quinoa and chia for the label. It's a simple snack, but added sugar and refined corn flour make it a treat, not health food.

Why this verdict

Fried in sunflower oil and salted — an indulgent snack
Added sugar is the #3 ingredient, ahead of every ancient grain
Quinoa, chia and flax are afterthoughts — only 2g protein per serving
Simple, short list with no artificial flavors or emulsifiers

Ingredients (11)

yellow corn flour (moderate) — Refined corn is the base — a fast-digesting starch that spikes blood sugar.
Sunflower Oil (moderate) — Refined seed oil added for mouthfeel; contributes omega-6 and calories.
Sugar (moderate) — Added refined sugar; spikes blood sugar and turns a milky base into a dessert.
brown rice flour (moderate) — Another refined starch adding to the fast-carb load.
Red Quinoa (safe) — A whole grain with protein and fiber, but present in token amounts here.
Salt (moderate) — Adds sodium; fine in moderation but the main reason to watch portion size.
Chia Seeds (safe) — Whole seed, unprocessed. High in soluble fiber, plant protein, and omega-3 ALA; supports digestion, satiety, and steadier blood sugar.
Brown Flax Seeds (safe) — Source of fiber and omega-3, again present in trace amounts.
Beet powder (color) (safe) — Natural coloring from beets — harmless.
Spice and Color (safe) — Vague blanket term, but no artificial dyes flagged.
White Quinoa (safe) — Whole grain, but at the very end of the list means barely any.
