Tortilla Chips & Crisps

Look at ingredient lists for whole-grain or stone-ground corn, minimal added sugars, and short recognizable ingredient lists; check nutrition facts for lower saturated fat, sodium, and calories per serving; consider baked or multigrain options if you want reduced fat

Compare serving size, calories, total fat and saturated fat, sodium, fiber, and added sugars; higher fiber and lower sodium and saturated fat are generally healthier choices for regular consumption

Check packaging for common allergens like gluten, dairy, soy, and sesame, and look for certified labels such as gluten-free, vegan, or non-GMO if you have specific dietary needs; cross-contact warnings can indicate shared equipment risks

Baked and some multigrain chips often have lower fat and sometimes fewer calories per serving than traditional fried chips, but differences vary by brand, so compare nutrition labels rather than assuming all baked varieties are much lower in calories

Compare price per ounce or per serving rather than package price, and weigh that against ingredient quality and nutrition; this category includes budget-friendly and premium options, with average prices often higher for specialty or health-focused brands

Pre-portion chips into small bowls or resealable bags using the package serving size as a guide, avoid eating directly from the bag, and pair chips with protein- or fiber-rich dips (like hummus or Greek yogurt–based dips) to increase satiety

Reseal the original bag tightly or transfer chips to an airtight container and store in a cool, dry place away from heat and humidity; for long-term freshness, use moisture absorbers or resealable clips to minimize air exposure
