Ingredient Score:
The Kettle Air Fried Jalapeno chips receive a 2/5 green leaf rating, indicating a lack of clean ingredients. The product uses non-organic and potentially harmful ingredients, detracting from its health value.
The chips are made from potatoes and a mix of vegetable oils, namely canola, sunflower, and safflower. The use of canola and vegetable oils raises concerns as these are harmful oils. We advocate for the use of healthier oils, like avocado or olive oil, to improve the product’s overall nutritional profile.
Sugar, another ingredient, is an added sweetener in the product. The inclusion of added sugars is a negative aspect as it increases the calorie content without providing any nutritional benefits. We encourage the elimination of added sugars for cleaner food options.
Further, the product contains onion powder, spices, torula yeast, yeast extract, garlic powder, jalapeno pepper powder, and parsley. Despite the presence of these ingredients, the chips are not classified as organic. The absence of organic certification means that the product might have been exposed to pesticides or other chemicals during production.
Moreover, the chips contain natural flavors. The term ‘natural flavors’ is often used to hide potentially harmful additives in food products. It’s a broad term that could mean anything from a spice blend to a synthetic compound. We advocate for transparency in labeling to allow consumers to make informed food choices.
The Kettle Air Fried Jalapeno chips are not a clean food option given their use of non-organic ingredients, harmful oils, and potentially harmful additives. The product could be significantly improved by using organic ingredients, eliminating harmful oils, and providing more transparency about the ingredients used, particularly those labeled as ‘natural flavors’.
The current formulation of the product does not align with our mission to promote cleaner food options. Therefore, we cannot recommend this product to those seeking healthier snack alternatives. The chips have room for improvement in terms of ingredient quality and transparency.
