Common questions

Is Lay's Salt & Vinegar healthy?

Lay's Salt & Vinegar scores 30/100 on Tallow — our avoid band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

What is in Lay's Salt & Vinegar?
