These figures describe straight-cut potato chips cooked from frozen by frying in dripping, an animal fat. They mainly provide carbohydrate and fat. Per 100g, they contain 36g of carbohydrate and 14g of fat, including 7.5g of saturated fat. They also provide potassium, at 710mg per 100g.
Carbohydrate provides energy, while potassium supports normal muscle and nerve function. Saturated fat can raise LDL cholesterol in the blood, so the saturated fat content is relevant for people monitoring their intake.
