Our take
CleanPlate reviewSame chip, better oil.
Crax Zero Salted chips use the same recipe as Crax Simply Salted, potato (59%) with 1.4% salt, but swap palmolein for refined groundnut oil and use Himalayan rock salt.
CleanPlate scores it DB3. The D for nutrition reflects few nutrients beyond potato protein. The B for ingredients is slightly better than the palm version thanks to the oil. The 3 for risk reflects high energy, offset by moderate saturated fat and sodium.
