Review of 'Ritz' Toasted Chips (Original)

Ritz -- Toasted Chips (Original) (vegan)
Overall Rating: 3/5
Summary: it's very crunchy, salty and slightly sweet; not  bad. I wouldn't buy it again, as I'm not thrilled with the ingredients (e.g. enriched flour, GMO soybean oil, and high-fructose corn syrup) that Nabisco (parent company) uses.

Where to buy: major grocery stores

Ritz Toasted Chips Original - 8.1 oz

Ingredients: UNBLEACHED ENRICHED FLOUR (WHEAT FLOUR, NIACIN, REDUCED IRON, THIAMINE MONONITRATE {VITAMIN B1}, RIBOFLAVIN {VITAMIN B2}, FOLIC ACID), SOYBEAN OIL, CORNSTARCH, SUGAR, HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP, POTATO STARCH, LEAVENING (CALCIUM PHOSPHATE AND/OR BAKING SODA), SALT.

So, the ingredients are not impressive. The nutritional profile is not that great. For 130 calories, it's pretty high in sodium and has next to no fiber and low protein and no vitamins/nutrients.

The wholesomeness of some ingredients have been questioned, but I think that it's still up for debate as to just how unhealthy those ingredients are. In the interim period, before we define how bad these ingredients really are, I opt to stay away.

Brand:
  • Parent company is Nabisco
  • Nabisco uses GMO ingredients
