Summary

Route 11 chips are made with select potatoes, expeller pressed high oleic sunflower oil, and unrefined sea salt, which are relatively clean ingredients for a processed snack. The use of high oleic sunflower oil, while better than regular seed oils, still contributes to the processing level, limiting the score. The product avoids artificial additives and excessive processing, but the presence of a seed oil and its processed nature prevent a higher rating.
