Food Label for Potato Chips: Boulder Canyon
Potato Chips: Boulder CanyonThese chips are fried in avocado oil, which is a better choice than many other oils used for frying snacks. However, for only 25 chips (a small serving size), they are quite high in calories (250), fat (14g), and sodium (370mg - 16% DV). The ingredients list includes 'Sugars (sugar, maltodextrin)' fairly high up, indicating a significant amount of added sugar, which is unnecessary in chips. They also contain yeast extract, which can be a source of free glutamate. Overall, while the use of avocado oil is a plus, the high calorie, fat, and sodium content for a small serving, coupled with added sugars, makes these chips a less-than-ideal snack choice for regular consumption. If you're looking for a healthier chip option, consider baked chips, or opt for snacks like plain popcorn, rice cakes, or vegetable sticks with hummus.
