Product Identification

• Brand: Lay’s (a division of PepsiCo).

Nutritional & Ingredient Highlights

• Key Ingredients: Potatoes, vegetable oil (often partially hydrogenated or high-oleic), salt, and preservatives (e.g., calcium propionate, TBHQ).
• Allergens: Contains wheat starch (a common allergen) and may be processed in facilities with soy and milk products.
• Health Considerations:
  • High in Sodium: A 15.5 oz bag contains ~1,700mg sodium (~71% DV), contributing to hypertension risks if consumed excessively.
  • Trans Fats: Older formulations may contain partially hydrogenated oils (linked to heart disease). Newer versions (e.g., "High-Oleic" Lay’s) use healthier oils but may still be high in saturated fat.
  • Added Sugars: None (unless flavored varieties are confused).
  • Calories: ~1,500 kcal per 15.5 oz bag (~75% DV for a 2,000-calorie diet).
  • Preservatives: TBHQ (tertiary butylhydroquinone) is used to extend shelf life; some studies suggest potential long-term risks at high doses, though regulatory agencies consider it safe at current levels.
