Key takeaways

• Per 1 oz (28 g), both chips list 130 calories and 7 g total fat.
• Siete's ingredient list names avocado oil. Late July's names organic expeller pressed sunflower and/or safflower oil.
• Siete's brand page lists 140 mg sodium per 1 oz (the page prints it as '140g', an evident unit typo). Late July lists 65 mg per 8 chips (28 g) on Open Food Facts.
• Neither ingredient list states whether the chips are fried, so the frying method is not disclosed on either label.
• FDA sets the sodium Daily Value at less than 2,300 mg per day, and Nutrition Facts are usually per one serving.

The two chips differ mainly in oil, base ingredient, and sodium. The side-by-side facts below compare the two bags at the same 1 oz (28 g) weight.

Siete vs Late July Chips: Which Oil Is in Each Bag?

Siete's ingredient list names avocado oil. Late July's ingredient list names organic expeller pressed sunflower oil and/or organic expeller pressed safflower oil. The Late July label does not say which of those two oils is in a given bag, so the 'and/or' wording is the most specific statement the label makes.

Both bags are sea salt chips with the same 28 g (1 oz) serving weight, so the comparison is about ingredients rather than portion size. The oil and the base are the clearest differences between the two lists.

Does Siete Have Seed Oils? Avocado Oil vs Sunflower and Safflower Oil

No seed oil is named: Siete's ingredient list names avocado oil as its only oil, and avocado oil is pressed from the fruit rather than from a seed. The oils most often grouped as seed oils, such as sunflower, safflower, canola and soybean oil, do not appear on Siete's list.

US food labels have no single legal definition of 'seed oil', so the ingredient list is the best guide to what a bag contains.

What oil are Siete chips made with?

Siete Grain Free Sea Salt Tortilla Chips list avocado oil as their only oil in the ingredient list. The product page does not describe how the chips are cooked.

Does Late July Chips Have Seed Oils? Sunflower and Safflower Oil on the Label

Yes: Late July's ingredient list names organic expeller pressed sunflower and/or safflower oil, two oils commonly grouped as seed oils. The label does not say which one is used in a particular bag.

The Open Food Facts record lists 5 g monounsaturated fat, 1.5 g polyunsaturated fat, and 0.5 g saturated fat per 8 chips (28 g). That breakdown shows fat types but does not identify which seed oil is present.

What Are the Ingredients in Siete vs Late July Tortilla Chips?

Siete's ingredient list reads: 'Cassava flour, avocado oil, tapioca starch, coconut flour, chia seeds, sea salt.' Late July's reads: 'Organic whole ground corn, organic expeller pressed sunflower oil and/or organic expeller pressed safflower oil, sea salt.' The two lists share only sea salt.

• Siete: avocado oil, cassava flour, tapioca starch, coconut flour, chia seeds, sea salt.
• Late July: organic whole ground corn, organic expeller pressed sunflower and/or safflower oil, sea salt.
• Siete's printed list contains no corn.

Gluten-free certification is not disclosed for either chip in the label information cited here.

Corn and coconut appear in the lists in different ways: Late July names organic whole ground corn as its base, while Siete names coconut flour among its base ingredients. Each package's full ingredient wording is the reference for that bag.

Siete vs Late July: Which Has Less Sodium per 1 oz?

Late July has less listed sodium: 65 mg per 28 g (8 chips) on Open Food Facts, versus 140 mg per 1 oz (28 g) on Siete's brand page. At the same weight, the listed figures differ by 75 mg.

Siete's page prints the sodium value as '140g', an evident unit typo for 140 mg, so check the printed bag to confirm it.

Neither source page prints a %DV for sodium. FDA sets the sodium Daily Value at less than 2,300 mg per day and treats 5% DV or less per serving as low and 20% DV or more as high. Calculated against that, Siete's 140 mg is about 6% DV and Late July's 65 mg about 3% DV per 1 oz. This article does not set a personal sodium target, because targets vary by person.

Is Frying Method Disclosed on Siete or Late July Chip Labels?

Neither ingredient list states whether the chips are fried, so the frying method is not disclosed on either label. An oil name in an ingredient list identifies the oil, not how the chip was cooked.

Frying temperature, cooking method, acrylamide, glyphosate, and lab testing are not covered by the label information cited here. Equal total fat per 1 oz also does not reveal how a chip was made. Check the package for any cooking statement and the brand pages for updates.

How Do I Read Sodium and Oil Labels on Tortilla Chip Bags?

Start with the serving size, then compare sodium and oil names, since those lines answer different questions. Comparing both bags at the same weight makes the numbers easier to read.

• Serving size: Siete lists 1 oz (28 g) as 18 chips. Late July lists 28 g as 8 chips.
• Sodium: compare mg per the same weight. Siete lists 140 mg per 1 oz on its brand page. Late July lists 65 mg per 28 g on Open Food Facts.
• %DV: look for a printed percentage. Neither source here prints one for sodium.
• Oil: 'avocado oil' and 'sunflower and/or safflower oil' name different oils. 'And/or' means the oil may vary by bag.
• Base: cassava and coconut flour differ from organic whole ground corn.
• Cooking method: look for a statement, since neither ingredient list gives one.

These label facts cannot show how a single bag was made, how much sodium any person needs, or how either chip affects an individual. The Siete sodium figure comes from the brand page and was not checked against a printed bag. Questions about oils, processing, and long-term outcomes remain open, so the label is a starting point rather than a conclusion.
