lessund63 Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 I've searched pretty thoroughly and can't locate any concrete info on various potato chips. Are they, or any of them OK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmcbn Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 From the official 'Can I Have...?' list: Chips: Not if they’re store-bought While we recognize that potatoes are a real food, we also know that eating them in the form of fries and chips has turned them from “produce” into an adulterated commercial “product.” It’s easy to find potato, tortilla, or plantain chips that meet the Whole30 ingredient standards. It is not easy, however, to consume those chips in a way that’s true to the spirit of the Whole30. For most of us, deep-fried, salted, crunchy chips are a bonafide food-with-no-brakes, and fall into that deep, dark area of less-healthy foods with technically compliant ingredients. For that reason, no store-bought chips of any nature (potato, plantain, tortilla, beet… not even kale) on the Whole30. Feel free to roast your own kale, pan-fry your own plantains, or bake your own sweet potato spears at home, however. That'd be a no Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TSchall Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Hey all, please note that effective April 1, 2017 all store bought chips are no longer Whole30 compliant. This decision was made with our Whole30ers in mind so that everyone can get the most out of their Whole30 and clear up prior confusion. Best wishes!

Tyler D Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 What about homemade baked potatoe chips? to be more specific: they are just 2 thinly sliced potatoes with A brushed thin coating of cooking fat with salt and pepper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
