Our take
CleanPlate review91% potato, but the oil is still mostly palm.
Haldiram's Classic Salted Potato Chips list potatoes (91%), a vegetable oil blend (palmolein, cottonseed, rice bran) and 1.6% iodised salt.
CleanPlate scores it DB4. The D for nutrition reflects few nutrients beyond potato protein. The B for ingredients reflects a short, clean list held back by palmolein. The 4 for risk comes from energy, saturated fat and sodium.
