Sodium

While the 200 milligrams per serving may not seem extraordinarily high at first glance, remember that one measured serving is only 10 chips.

If you go into the bag for three handfuls of chips with ten corn chips in each grab, you will have consumed approximately 600 milligrams of sodium, which is one quarter of the recommended limit for an entire day (based on 2,000 calories).

Ingredients

Chips

Corn, Corn Oil, Spicy Jalapeno Seasoning

Spicy Jalapeno Seasoning

Maltodextrin (made from corn), Salt, Monosodium Glutamate, Whey, Dextrose, Spices, Natural Flavors, Onion Powder, Sodium Diacetate, Sugar, Sour Cream (cultured cream, skim milk), Modified Corn Starch, Sunflower Oil, Canola Oil, Corn Syrup Solids, Garlic Powder, Jalapeno Peppers, Artificial Flavor

Maltodextrin is a class of processed polysaccharides (i.e., carbohydrates) derived from rice, wheat, corn or potato starch used to improve flavor, as a thickener, and to increase shelf life.

Maltodextrin is frequently used to thicken puddings, frostings, pastries, and salad dressings, among other processed foods.

As a simple carbohydrate, it is easily digested. Because of this, Maltodextrin is often used in sports drinks.

Allergens

The corn chips are made with ingredients that contain milk.
