The bag screams 'no artificial anything' and 'all natural' — but caramel color, an artificial additive, is right there in the ingredient list.

Why this verdict

Labeled 'no artificial coloring' and 'all natural' yet contains caramel color
Caramel color is a purely cosmetic additive with no nutritional value
'17g whole grains' headline distracts from refined rice/corn flours that make up the bulk
It's still a fried/baked salty snack, not a health food

Whole Grain Brown Rice (safe) — Intact whole grain milled into flour; keeps fiber and minerals rather than stripped refined starch.
Brown and White Rice Flour (moderate) — Refined milled rice — fast-digesting starch, less fiber than the whole grain it's paired with.
Masa Corn Flour (moderate) — Nixtamalized corn flour — fine as food, but a refined starch that bumps the carb load.
Sunflower and/or Safflower and/or Canola Oil (moderate) — Refined high-omega-6 seed oil used for frying/coating; the 'and/or' means they swap whichever is cheapest.
Sesame Seeds (safe) — Whole seeds add healthy fats, a little protein, and minerals like calcium and magnesium.
Sea Salt (moderate) — Adds sodium to the canning brine; modest amount but worth rinsing to reduce.
caramel color (moderate) — Cosmetic coloring with no nutritional value, can contain 4-MEI
