Our take
CleanPlate reviewThree ingredients, but a heavy load of palm fat.
Bingo Original Style Salt chips have just three ingredients: potato (64%), refined palmolein and iodised salt (1.4%).
CleanPlate scores it DB4. The D for nutrition reflects little besides potato protein for a lot of calories. The B for ingredients reflects a clean list held back by palmolein. The 4 for risk comes from very high energy, saturated fat and sodium.
