About Lays barbecue

Lay's Barbecue Potato Chips are a popular snack food produced by Lay's, a brand under Frito-Lay. Originating in the United States, these chips have become a staple in the American snack food market and are widely enjoyed globally. Made from thinly sliced potatoes, they are cooked in oil and seasoned with a smoky-sweet barbecue flavor. Typical serving sizes (about 28g or 15 chips) contain approximately 150 calories, 9g of fat, 15g of carbohydrates, and 2g of protein. While they are a source of quick energy due to their carbohydrate content, they are considered a processed food with added sugars, sodium, and flavorings. They are low in essential vitamins and minerals but may contain trace amounts of potassium from the potatoes.
