What Reviewers and Snack Lovers Are Saying
Editors and everyday snackers alike have taken notice of what avocado oil brings to the table. As FlavCity's Bobby Parrish put it, "Avocado oil, sweet potatoes, sea salt. That's it. Every other chip cooked in seed oils, processed, inflammatory, machine lubricants. Avocado oil is the opposite." And it's not just press taking note. Customer Rainyroo shared, "These veggie straws are absolutely addictive! I especially love the ranch flavor, and the cheddar flavor is equally delicious. I will continue to purchase these indefinitely."
Always Check Your Labels!
Formulations change, and ingredient lists can shift from one production run to the next, so it always pays to double-check the label on any packaged snack before you buy, even the ones featured here. Just because one product from a brand contains avocado oil or fits a certain diet doesn't mean every product in that brand's lineup is formulated the same way. Reading labels is a habit worth building, no matter how well you know a brand.
At Jackson's, we make this easy. Every single one of our Kettle Chips and Super Veggie Straws® is cooked in avocado oil, is vegan, and is made in a top 9 allergen-free facility, every single time. That consistency is something you can count on, bag after bag.
