Tyrrell's Sea Salt & Black Pepper Crisps — TREAT
Munch or Dump rates Tyrrell's Sea Salt & Black Pepper Crisps by Tyrrell's TREAT — score 45/90.
Simple, clean-label crisps with no artificial junk, but they're still deep-fried potato in sunflower oil - an indulgence, not a health food.
Why this verdict
- Deep-fried in sunflower oil - 27g fat and ~500 calories per 100g
- Salty snack you'll keep reaching into - easy to overeat
- Refined carbs from potato plus added rice flour
- Genuinely clean list otherwise: no artificial flavors, colors, or MSG
Ingredients (8)
- potatoes (safe) — A whole-food base, though deep-frying turns it starchy, oily, and calorie-dense.
- Sunflower Oil (moderate) — Refined seed oil adding calories and helping the coating stick.
- rice flour (moderate) — Refined starch used to build the crispy clusters — fast-digesting carbs, low nutrition.
- Sea Salt (safe) — Small amount for flavor balance.
- Spices (black pepper) (safe) — Real cracked and ground black pepper for flavor - a plus.
- Sugar (concerning) — Added sugar, third by weight, feeds yeast and adds sweetness with no nutritional benefit.
- YEAST EXTRACT (moderate) — Natural MSG source stacked with the other enhancers to amplify umami.
- natural flavouring (moderate) — Undefined flavour additive tuning palatability.
