Lay's Baked Cream, Herb & Onion Flavour

Trans Fats are one type of fatty acid formed during the food manufacturing process, which when consumed tend to increase the blood cholesterol level.

A claim of the term “Trans-fat free” or Zero Trans Fat on a food label means, where trans-fat is less than 0.2 g per serving of food, this is as per the current Indian food laws.

Therefore, it is important to check the serving size of the product you are consuming, have more than one serving and the nutrient will pile up.

We generally tend to choose the baked option for any snack be it chips or anything else thinking that it is healthier.

If the definition for Health only means Less Fat and lower calories than the Baked option is for you. But decrease in fat comes with cost, there is increase in salt (i.e. sodium) and sugar. The reason behind this increase is that to achieve the same flavour as the fried option more salt and sugar is required in the baked version of the snack.

So it is important that you eat moderately as more baked snack you munch more salt and sugar you consume. 

Also check the ingredients of both the versions of the snack, as a Potato in a fried version of chips at times is replaced by Potato Flakes, Edible Starch and Wheat Flour in the baked version.
