Contains MSG!
Monosodium Glutamate is responsible for the umami (savory) flavor of foods, but some people steer away from it as it causes them adverse reactions.

Contains torula yeast, a MSG substitute
Torula is a species of yeast, also known as candida utilis. It has become a popular food additive in recent years, but not without some controversy. Torula yeast has been used as an additive in pet food for years. Recently, it has found its way into savory dishes for us humans. It all started with a backlash against monosodium glutamate (MSG). People looking for natural and healthy foods avoided products containing MSG. Manufacturers, looking for a replacement additive that would provide the umami flavor of MSG, without the allergic reactions some people get. For most people, Torula yeast is perfectly safe. Unfortunately for some, replacing MSG with torula yeast does not make the allergic reaction go away. The only way to really know is to eat a food with Torula yeast and see if it affects you or not.

Controversial additive TBHQ in here
TBHQ (tertiary butylhydroquinone) is an antioxidant used to keep oils from going rancid. It is a petroleum derivative. Yummy. The food industry pushed the FDA for years to get it approved as a preservative despite the fact that ingestion of large doses (a thirtieth of an ounce) can cause nausea, delirium, and ringing of the ears. (Anyone remember what Jack Nicholson had for lunch in “The Shining”?) TBHQ cannot exceed 0.02% of the oil and fat content in a food.
-
Controversial additive BHT present
Butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) is an additive used to retard rancidity in oils and foods containing oils and fats. Some studies have shown it to be carcinogenic. Best to avoid
-
Controversial additive BHA used
BHA (Butylated Hydroxyanisole) is a synthetic antioxidant additive. It is used to extend the shelf life of fats, oils, and oil-containing foods, including cereals, gums, and potato chips. The FDA approves it as safe despite the fact that the Department of Health and Human Services considers BHA to be "reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen." Alternatives to BHA are vitamin E or tocopherols, different packaging methods, or simply omitting it.
-
Contains sulfites
Sulfites are inorganic salts that have antioxidant and preservative properties. Examples that appear on food labels are sulfur dioxide, sodium bisulfite, sodium sulfate, and potassium bisulfite. May cause severe reactions in people with sensitivity to sulfites, especially in asthmatics.
-

Why do chips and puffs rate so low?
Chips and puffs rate low even if they don't contain the typical "red flags" in food, such as artificial colors or trans fats. Chips and puffs generally have little nutritional value for the amount of fat and sodium they carry.
-
Contains artificial flavors. Learn why
Companies add artificial flavors to products to make them taste better. They are created in a lab and the formulations are guarded as trade secrets. Flavorings can compensate for flavor loss during processing, substitute for ingredients, lower production costs and increase shelf stability. Artificial flavorings are cheaper to source than natural flavors and are perceived as "worse" than natural flavors. They are more stable (and usually less chemically complex) than natural flavors. Artificial flavors are not necessarily bad for you from a health perspective. however, people with food sensitivities or allergies may want to avoid artificial flavors if they are unnamed. You can always contact the manufacturer for more information.

Natural flavors added. Learn why
Companies add flavorings to make products taste better. They are created in a lab and the formulations are guarded as trade secrets. Flavorings can compensate for flavor loss during processing, substitute for ingredients, lower production costs and increase shelf stability. Natural flavorings are more expensive to source than artificial flavors, but tend to be better received by consumers. People sensitive to MSG, vegans, vegetarians and those with allergies should pay special attention to the phrase "natural flavorings" since glutamates, animal products or allergens may be the source of natural flavors. You can always contact the manufacturer for more information.
