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.

But sometimes it may come from fish, so vegetarians or vegans, ask the manufacturer to be certain.

More on Potato Chips
Potato chips don’t have to be a daily ritual with your lunch sandwich. However, if you do buy them for occasional consumption, choose potato chips that have been minimally processed. Buy single serve 1 oz. bags of chips so that you won’t be tempted to eat more than one serving at a time. As junk food goes, potato chips need only 3 ingredients (potatoes, oil, salt) and are considered by some nutritionists the lesser of savory evils.
