Summary

This product consists of white corn kernels, high-oleic sunflower oil, and salt, which are relatively simple ingredients without artificial additives or preservatives. However, the use of sunflower oil, even though it is high-oleic, is still a processed oil that can detract from the overall healthiness of the snack. The product is processed, which limits its potential score, but the absence of harmful additives and a short ingredient list are positive factors.
