The catch

The real catch is thin nutrition, only 2g protein and 0g fiber per 28g serving, so it fills you up little and is easy to overeat. (source)

The honest take

PopCorners Spicy Queso is a popped corn snack rather than a fried chip, and each 28g serving lands at 140 calories with 6g fat, 140mg sodium, and just 1g sugar. What holds it back for health minded shoppers is the thin nutrition underneath that, only 2g protein and essentially no fiber, so it does little to keep you full. The oil blend is sunflower, safflower, and canola, and the flavor comes from a long list that includes maltodextrin, natural flavors, and yeast extract. It is a fair lighter swap for nacho cheese chips, but it is still a processed snack you can breeze through, not a nutrient dense food.
