Compare Lightly salted potato chips with another food

Per 100 g. Source: usda-fndds #2709439 — listed by USDA as “Potato chips, lightly salted”. Every number is traceable, every score recomputable. This entry came from a bulk USDA import and hasn’t been hand-reviewed yet — the numbers are USDA’s, but the name and grouping haven’t had a second pair of eyes. The score measures satiety per calorie. It is not a virtue scale, and no food here is forbidden. How the score works.
