What is the nutritional content for each JicaChip Flavor?

Why do we use olive oil?
JicaChips are lightly coated in olive oil, as opposed to sunflower oil, which is found in many processed snacks. Olive oil has a much lower omega 6 to omega 3 polyunsaturated fats (PUFA) ratio than sunflower oil. High consumption of omega 6 polyunsaturated fats, relative to omega 3 fatty acids, in the Western Diet has been linked to higher levels of inflammation and other negative health benefits. 

 

Do JicaChips contain MSG?
Absolutely Not! We do not use Monosodium Glutamate -or- Yeast Extract, Autolyzed Yeast, or Hydrolyzed Yeast, which may also be problematic for MSG sensitive individuals (excludes naturally occuring glutamates in soy powder of Spicy Soy Ginger).

 

What allergens should I be aware of?

• Peanuts, Tree Nuts or Seeds

• Eggs

Our Spicy Soy Ginger JicaChips contain Soy and our White Cheddar JicaChips contain Dairy. Good Manufacturing Procedures (GMP) are used to segregate soy and dairy within the facility.  Always use caution when dealing with severe food allergies.
