Sea Salt & Cracked Pepper Rice Chips
President’s Choice Blue Menu

Nutritional facts per 33 chips (50 g): 210 calories, 2.5 g fat (0.2 g saturated, 0 g trans, 0.4 polyunsaturated, 0.4 g omega-6, 0.1 g omega-3, 2 g monounsaturated), 0 mg cholesterol, 160 mg sodium, 43 g carbs (1 g fibre, 0 g sugar), 3 g protein, 2% iron. $2 per bag.

Family says: Dad Raymond thought these were more like a Saltine cracker with pepper than a chip. Camryn wasn’t pleased with the peppery flavour. Liam yelled “yucky” and spit them into the garbage.

Dietitian says: This product is slightly lower in calories than regular chips, but the low fat content stands out. Most of the fat comes from good fats (polyunsaturated and monounsaturated). The carb count, however, is much higher than the average potato chip.
