About CHEESE PUFFS, CHEESE
Big Y Cheese Puffs start with enriched degermed yellow corn meal puffed in vegetable oil - a familiar base for the category - then seasoned with a whey-and-maltodextrin cheese powder blend that delivers the signature salty-savory punch. The fat content is very high, almost entirely from the frying oil, and the carb load is substantial with essentially no fiber since degerming strips the grain down. Sodium runs elevated from the seasoning. MSG is listed among the minor ingredients. These are what they are: a fat-and-starch snack that hits a specific craving but offers little nutritionally.
