Summary
This product is a highly processed snack containing industrial seed oils such as corn, canola, or sunflower oil, which are associated with inflammation and are heavily processed. The presence of maltodextrin and other additives in the vinegar seasoning further contributes to its ultra-processed nature. Despite the use of sea salt, the overall ingredient profile and processing level significantly lower its health rating.
