The Take
Late July Sea Salt Chips sits squarely in mid territory. The organic whole ground corn base delivers a clean, simple crunch with almost nothing else on the label.
Sunflower and safflower oil as the primary fat drags the whole thing down for anyone avoiding industrial seed oils. Three-ingredient honesty earns points, but the oil choice keeps it from based status.
The Verdict
Buyers signal virtue with the organic corn while overlooking the oil that defines the product. The result is a chip that feels better than Doritos but still lands in the same processed-fat category.
Ancestors would nod at the corn then facepalm at the seed oil. Skip the seed oil. Buy Epic pork rinds instead for animal-fat crunch with zero vegetable oil.
