Our take

Garden Yellow Banana Chips are 60% yellow banana fried in refined palmolein with iodised salt.
CleanPlate scores it EB3. The E for nutrition reflects almost no protein (0.8 g per 100 g). The B for ingredients reflects a short list held back by palmolein. The 3 for risk comes from saturated fat and energy.
