How it all began.
Ever spend time looking at a vending machine or your cupboard and wanting something healthier that you actually want to eat? We have too. So, we began offering GREAT TASTING snacks that are 100% Complete Nutrition. Over time, we have updated our Crisps to stay current with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's Daily Value guidelines. We are proud to offer great-tasting snacks that achieve the newest guidelines and also the USDA's Smart Snack requirements!

Q&A
Q: Why are the % Daily Values for Sodium (Salt) and Choline lower than the other values?
A: The recommended Daily Value for Sodium was reduced in the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) most recent update. Research by The National Institutes of Health (NIH), a part of the FDA, recommends an even lower daily consumption level (https://www.nap.edu/read/10925/chapter/8). We are following the NIH guidance. Similarly, NIH guidance for Choline suggests a lower limit for adolescents and we have followed that recommendation (https://www.nap.edu/read/6015/chapter/14#403).
Q: If the Added Sugars figure on the Nutrition Facts panel shows 18% Daily Value, whereas the rest of the nutrients are at 9%, does this mean the Added Sugars are high?
A: The Added Sugars Daily Value target is based on an expectation that increased sugar intake will result in lower intake of other nutrients. Since the Added Sugars are a part of Total Carbohydrates and these are the same Daily Value of 9% as the other nutrients, the Added Sugars for the Crisps do not detract from complete nutrition per the FDA guidelines. (Fun Fact: Per the National Institutes of Health [https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3900881/], your brain runs on sugar (glucose) and requires 120 grams of it per day - your body needs 200 grams in total to function every day!)
