Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Salt & Vinegar Potato Chips scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Other Additives (Sodium Diacetate (2%)): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Within Chips & Crisps, this product is more processed than about 56% of the 10,682 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
