Not a great choice for everyday.

This is an ultra-processed snack because it contains several industrial ingredients and additives: glucose syrup, an industrially refined sugar; flavour, a flavouring additive; mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids, an emulsifier; paprika extract used as a colour; and smoke flavour, an industrial flavouring. These ingredients indicate an industrial formulation beyond minimally processed potato ingredients.
