The Take
These chips are not the healthy upgrade they pretend to be. Sunflower oil leads the fats and sugar has no place in basic tortilla chips.
The quinoa, chia, and flax exist mainly to dress up an industrial product for people chasing a superfood halo at Sam's Club.
The Verdict
The quinoa and seeds deliver a tiny nutrition flex, but the sunflower oil and added sugar erase most of the benefit. This is classic virtue signaling in a bag.
Skip it. Buy Siete avocado-oil chips instead.
