Wegmans Yellow Corn Tortilla Chips, 16 oz — TREAT

Munch or Dump rates Wegmans Yellow Corn Tortilla Chips, 16 oz by Wegmans TREAT — score 45/90.

Corn, oil, salt — the original tortilla chip formula, done with organic corn and expeller-pressed oils. No cheese dust, no flavor enhancers, nothing engineered. It's still fried and 25% fat, so it earns TREAT, not a health halo.

Why this verdict

• Three ingredients: organic corn, expeller-pressed oil, sea salt — clean by any chip standard
• Still a fried snack: 25g fat and ~465 kcal per 100g
• The oil blend includes refined canola and soybean oil — 'organic' doesn't change what frying does
• No flavor powders, no MSG, no colors — a snack, not a lab experiment
• Decent fiber for a chip (7g/100g) and restrained salt (~0.6g/100g)

Ingredients (3)

• Organic Yellow Corn (safe) — Whole corn, stone-ground into masa — the real base of a real tortilla chip.
• Organic Expeller Pressed Vegetable Oil (sunflower, safflower, canola, soybean) (moderate) — Expeller-pressed and organic, but still refined frying oils delivering 25g fat per 100g.
• Sea Salt (moderate) — It's a salted chip; sodium is the point and the problem.
