Siete Grain Free Sea Salt Tortilla Chips
At a glance
Summary
⚠️ Independent testing at UC Davis (2026) found the avocado oil used in this product line was not compositionally consistent with authentic avocado oil in every lot of the line's products tested; the fatty-acid profile indicates dilution with cheaper seed oils. This product features a clean ingredient list with minimally processed components like cassava flour, avocado oil, and chia seeds, which are known for their nutritional benefits. The absence of seed oils and artificial additives contributes positively to its health profile. However, as a processed food, it is subject to a processing score cap, which limits its maximum potential score despite the high-quality ingredients.
