popchip Review

I finally finished trying all the flavours of popchips that I was sent to sample and review.  I have to say that each and every flavour was delicious.  I think that my favourite flavour was the Sea Salt & Vinegar popchips.  My second favourite flavour was the Sour Cream & Chive popchips.  I loved the texture of the chips as well as how the flavour really popped in my mouth.  I also love their nutritional information because I can have a serving of popchips for far less POINTS then I would get for a serving of regular chips.

Everything you ever wanted to know about popchips  …

how do you pop a chip?

Popping is a way of cooking our all-natural ingredients using heat, pressure, and a little snack magic to burst the ingredients into the shape of a chip before we season it. In fact, making popchips is almost as much fun as eating them. We said almost.

don't chips need a lot of fat
to taste really good?

You'd think. But no oil is used in the popping process, that’s what makes it so great. Then we use just a bit of all-natural safflower and/or sunflower oil in the seasoning. So popchips still have all the flavour, and less than half the fat of fried potato chips. That means you'll never again have to wipe your greasy chip hand on your jeans.

what kind of oil do you use?

We only use all natural safflower and/or sunflower oil (not hydrogenated, of course) in seasoning our chips.

do popchips have any trans fat
or saturated fat?

popchips popped potato chips have 0 grams of trans fat and no saturated fat except for sour cream & onion and cheddar flavours which have 0.5 grams because, well, that’s the way cream and cheese are.

what's all natural?

For us, it's simple: no fake colors, no fake flavours, no preservatives, no fluorescent orange fingertips, and no wiping your greasy chip hand on your jeans. No, really. We only use ingredients you can feel good about eating, like wholesome potatoes, and we leave out the bad stuff, like hydrogenated oils and msg that give snacking a bad name. Even though "all natural" doesn't have any established standards with the fda, we've made it our priority to meet the highest "all natural" standards out there.

do you use any preservatives,
artificial flavours, colors, or ingredients like msg?

Nope. So don't try leaving our chips out for the next seven years. They have no preservatives, no fake flavours, and no fake colors. Every last chip is totally natural.

so how long do popchips stay fresh?

Because there's so little oil, they'll stay fresh for more than 12 months in an unopened bag. To anyone that has the self-restraint to let popchips sit in their cupboard that long to prove it, we commend you. Remember, though, that they have no preservatives, so get a good chip clip after opening the bag. Or better yet, just eat them all at once.

are popchips kosher?

All of our products are kosher certified.

are popchips gluten free?
