Summary
This product is made from non-GMO corn tortillas and uses peanut oil, which is not a seed oil, avoiding a major penalty. The ingredient list is relatively short and free from artificial additives, dyes, or preservatives, which is positive. However, as a processed food, it is subject to a processing score cap, and the use of peanut oil, while better than seed oils, does not provide the same health benefits as oils like avocado or olive oil.
