Reviewed 3 times · Methodology v3.1 (updated 8 Oct 2026) — what changed

This corn-based snack offers a generally acceptable profile for most adults, with its primary ingredients being corn, edible vegetable oil, sugar, and iodized salt. The presence of milk solids means it is not suitable for individuals with dairy allergies. While it includes various spices and herbs, the jalapeno is present in trace amounts, so its contribution to flavor or nutritional benefit is likely minimal. The product's overall safety is good, but consumers should be mindful of the sugar and sodium content as part of a balanced diet.

About this analysis: Based on declared label information and available evidence. Decode Label does not independently laboratory-test products, and a score is not a regulatory determination or medical advice.

Disclaimer: Safety scores are Decode Label-generated assessments based on publicly available regulatory data (FSSAI, WHO, EFSA, IARC) and peer-reviewed research. They are not a substitute for professional medical advice, and they are not a regulatory determination, a laboratory safety certification or a medical diagnosis. Ingredient safety can vary by individual health conditions, concentration, and usage context. Decode Label is an independent information service and scores every brand by the same rules. No brand pays for or influences its score. Our founder also founded the personal-care brand Botani Bestie (see our story); its products are scored exactly like everyone else's. Data limitations: This assessment is based on the information declared on the product label and the evidence sources above — Decode Label does not independently laboratory-test this product. Ingredient concentrations, sourcing and manufacturing can vary between batches and are not always disclosed. A finding that is not shown here means it was not identified from the available label information, not that it has been ruled out.
