The Take

Chips Ahoy is not healthy. It earns a Slop Score of 87 as factory cookie sludge masquerading as nostalgia.

Nabisco loads the product with soybean and canola oil as primary fats plus high fructose corn syrup to cut costs and extend shelf life.

Enriched flour and palm oil round out the base while semisweet chips get lost in the filler. This is ultra-processed food designed for profit, not sustenance.

The Verdict

Skip it. The ingredients list confirms every red flag from the scan card with zero redeeming qualities beyond the occasional real cocoa butter in the chips.

Buy a bag of simple butter cookies or make your own with tallow and real chocolate instead. Slop Score 87.
