Wegmans Organic Blue Corn Tortilla Chips — OKAY

Munch or Dump rates Wegmans Organic Blue Corn Tortilla Chips by Wegmans OKAY — score 62/90.

Organic whole blue corn, organic oil, and sea salt, and that is the entire list. The organic sourcing and whole-grain corn are real positives, but it is still a fried tortilla chip, so it comes in as a solid, balanced snack.

Why this verdict

• Three clean, organic ingredients with no additives, colors, or sweeteners
• Whole ground blue corn keeps it minimally processed with some fiber
• Organic sunflower/safflower/canola oil is cleaner than commodity frying oil
• Deep-frying and sodium hold it back from a MUNCH rating
• Nothing engineered in the formula, so it clears ENGINEERED and DUMP easily

Ingredients (3)

• Organic Ground Blue Corn (safe) — Whole-grain corn base with anthocyanin pigments and some fiber.
• Organic Vegetable Oil (sunflower/safflower/canola) (moderate) — Frying oil, mostly unsaturated. Adds fat and calories but is not a hydrogenated or heavily refined problem oil.
• Sea Salt (moderate) — Sodium source; no nutritional edge over regular salt.
