POTATO CHIPS — CLOSEST TO HOMEMADE

Information updated April 2024

Homemade Potato Chips are simply Potatoes, Oil and Salt.

COMMERCIAL OILS: Many manufactured Potato Chips contain commercial oils we would never use at home to make Potato Chips such as Soybean Oil, Cottonseed Oil and Canola Oil.

The majority of manufactured Potato Chips utilize the confusing “and/or” when referring to possible oils in the ingredient list >> we can’t be sure exactly which oils are included in the product we’re eating. When you see “and/or” in an ingredient list, the manufacturer is using whichever oil is least expensive at the time of purchasing the ingredients.
