Wegmans Wavy Potato Chips — TREAT

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

Potatoes, oil, salt — the entire label, and it beats most of the chip aisle on honesty. No colors, no flavor enhancers, no maltodextrin dust, nothing to decode. Still a fried snack whose calories are mostly refined oil, so it's a clean treat, not health food.

Why this verdict

• Three ingredients, all recognizable — the clean short list keeps this well out of engineered-snack territory
• No flavor enhancers, artificial colors, or preservatives — genuinely simpler than most national-brand chips
• The fat is a refined corn/sunflower/canola frying oil blend — the bulk of every serving's calories
• Fried and salted means high calorie density (~150 kcal per ounce) with little protein or fiber to slow you down

Ingredients (3)

• potatoes (safe) — Real peeled potatoes — the bulk of the bag.
• Vegetable oil (corn, sunflower, or canola) (caution) — Refined seed-oil frying blend — this is where most of the calories come from, and 'one or more of' means the blend varies batch to batch.
• Salt (moderate) — ~260mg sodium per packet — sweet AND salty is the palatability play.
