Thin & Crispy Tortilla Chips — OKAY
Munch or Dump rates Thin & Crispy Tortilla Chips by Signature SELECT OKAY — score 62/90.
Same clean four-ingredient recipe as the rest of the Signature SELECT plain tortilla line: corn masa, oil, salt and water, with nothing artificial. A thinner cut does not change the nutrition, it is still a fried refined-corn snack. Reasonable in moderation.
Why this verdict
- Short, clean four-ingredient list
- No artificial colors, flavors or preservatives
- Fried refined-corn snack, not a whole food
- NOVA 3 processed
