Are Sun Chips Made?

They're truly made with the sun
They created a solar power plant to reduce their manufacturer's dependance on coal-powered electricity, which in turn reduces the carbon footprint. So the Sun Chips truly live up to their name—their production process is powered by solar energy, aka the sun.

Where are SunChips made?

Seven Frito-Lay plants in the United States make SunChips, but Modesto is the first to use solar power to make the multigrain snack. Plans are in the works to use the technology at a factory in Casa Grande, Ariz., Gonzalez said.

Are SunChips actually healthy?

Unfortunately the answer is “no.” Although Sun Chips may be healthier than some of their salty snack brethren, that really isn't a very hard mountain to climb. With 140 calories, 6 grams of fat, and 120mg of sodium in a 1 ounce serving, snacking regularly on Sun Chips probably will lead to some long-term trouble.
