Corn snacks

Corn snacks are savoury snack foods made from maize, described here in their ready-to-eat form. The supplied data cover branded and own-label products. They mainly provide carbohydrate and fat, with 61g of carbohydrate and 30g of fat per 100g. The same amount contains 2199 kJ of energy and 2.3g of salt.

Carbohydrate and fat provide energy for the body. The energy and salt content are points to note for people monitoring their intake, as the amount eaten determines how much is consumed. Salt content can vary between products, so individual packaging gives more specific information. Full nutrient figures for the sampled corn snacks are shown in the tables below.
