Our take

CleanPlate review

Lower salt, with a little help from chemistry.

Too Yumm Lightly Salted Gourmet Potato Chips are potato (62%) fried in rice bran oil, seasoned with salt, maltodextrin, flavouring, ammonium chloride and potassium chloride.

CleanPlate scores it DB3. The D for nutrition reflects few nutrients beyond potato protein. The B for ingredients reflects a better oil held back by flavouring. The 3 for risk comes from energy density.
