Our take

CleanPlate review

Corn and rice crisps with real chilli.

Kab's Jackpot Fiery and Crunchy Crisps are made from corn and rice grits fried in palmolein, with chilli, black pepper and a spice blend.

CleanPlate scores it DB3. The D for nutrition reflects refined grains with little protein or fibre. The B for ingredients reflects no additives, held back by palmolein and an unspecified seasoning. The 3 for risk comes from energy and sodium.
