Wavy Potato Chips — TREAT

Munch or Dump rates Wavy Potato Chips by Signature SELECT TREAT — score 45/90.

About as simple as a chip gets: potatoes, oil and salt, with no artificial colors, flavors or enhancers. It is still a deep-fried, fat-and-salt snack, so it lands as an honest indulgence rather than anything wholesome. Eat it as a treat, not a staple.

Why this verdict

• Clean three-ingredient list: potatoes, vegetable oil, salt
• No artificial colors, flavors, or flavor enhancers
• Deep-fried in refined vegetable oil - a fat-heavy indulgence
• Simple formula but nutritionally still just fried starch and salt

Ingredients (3)

• potatoes (safe) — Whole potato base - a real food.
• Vegetable oil (corn, sunflower, or canola) (moderate) — Refined frying oil; the fat load is what makes chips calorie-dense.
• Salt (caution) — Condensed soups run high in sodium per serving once prepared.
