About CHEESE PUFFS
El Paraiso cheese puffs are corn meal fried in vegetable oil and dusted with a dehydrated seasoning blend that leans on whey, maltodextrin, MSG, autolyzed yeast extract, and artificial flavor to simulate cheese. Yellow 5 and Red 40 handle the color. The fiber number reads high for a puffed snack, likely from the corn base, and protein is surprisingly listed at an elevated level - but the ingredient quality is low throughout. Mostly refined starch and fat with synthetic flavoring layered over it.
