Always Check Your Labels!
Even with "sea salt" front and center on the bag, ingredient lists can still surprise you. Oils and extras can vary widely from brand to brand, and even within a single brand's own lineup. Just because one product from a brand is cooked in avocado oil doesn't automatically mean every product in that brand's catalog is made the same way.
A few things worth a quick scan before you toss a bag in your cart:
- Which oil is used, and where it falls on the ingredient list
- Added sugars or sweeteners you might not expect
- Extra flavors or colors that don't match what you're looking for
- Allergens or gluten if you're avoiding them
With Jackson's, that guesswork is taken off your plate. Our snacks are always cooked in avocado oil, always vegan, and always made in our dedicated top 9 allergen free facility. As one customer, Sonya, put it: "With 3 kids always on the go between school and sports, these are a great convenient snack that my kids love and I feel good giving them."
