Sour Cream & Onion Flavoured Potato Chips

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 6 ingredients to avoid

Lay's Sour Cream & Onion Flavoured Potato Chips scores 5/100 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. Per serving it carries 2g fiber, 4g protein and 2g sugar. 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.

Lay's Sour Cream & Onion Flavoured Potato Chips lists 14 ingredients, starting with Specially Selected Potatoes, Vegetable Oil, Seasoning, Modified Milk Ingredients and Salt. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

270 kcal per serving, or 540 kcal per 100g. Calories are only part of the picture — Tallow scores Lay's Sour Cream & Onion Flavoured Potato Chips on what the ingredients are, not how many calories they carry.

At 5/100 Lay's Sour Cream & Onion Flavoured Potato Chips scores worse than most chips & crisps we have scored. A higher-scoring option in chips & crisps is Late July Thin & Crispy Organic Blue Corn Tortilla Chips at 95/100.
