What's inside

Soybean oil

High omega-6 fatty acid content, oxidation instability, potential allergenicity, processing often involves hexane extraction

Modified Food Starch

None at typical consumption levels

Natural flavors

Lack of transparency, possible presence of solvents or processing aids, no nutritional value

Sodium Phosphates

Excessive intake may affect kidney function in sensitive individuals, potential for altered mineral balance

Starter Distillate (Natural Flavor)

Lack of transparency, potential chemical residues from extraction, ultra-processed, lack of nutritional value

Wheat Gluten

Allergenic potential, gluten intolerance, celiac disease trigger

Natural flavor

Lack of transparency, potential presence of solvents or processing aids, ultra-processed ingredient, no direct nutritional value

Sorbic Acid

Possible skin and respiratory irritant, mild sensitizer at high exposure, ingestion generally low toxicity

Color Added

Allergic reactions, hypersensitivity, potential irritant, regulatory restrictions on some synthetic dyes

Xanthan Gum

Possible gastrointestinal discomfort in large amounts, rare allergy or sensitivity, minor irritation in sensitive individuals

Potassium sorbate

Irritation potential to skin and eyes at high concentrations, possible allergen and sensitizer in some individuals

Calcium Disodium EDTA

None at approved levels, potential gastrointestinal irritation at high doses

Tortilla chips (corn, vegetable oil (canola, corn, soy, or sunflower oil), calcium hydroxide)

PUFA-dominant oil ingestion toxicity risk, contamination potential from processing (acrylamides), oxidation instability in oils high in omega-6, possible allergenicity from soy, exposure to calcium hydroxide residue if not processed properly
