Finally. Chips Without Seed Oils.
No canola. No soybean. No sunflower. Just potatoes, tallow, and seasoning — the way chips should be made.
Shop Seed Oil Free ChipsPick up almost any bag of chips at the store. Flip it over. You'll see one of these in the ingredients: canola oil, soybean oil, sunflower oil, or "vegetable oil."
These are seed oils — industrially processed oils that are high in polyunsaturated fats (PUFAs). When heated to frying temperature, PUFAs break down and produce toxic compounds called aldehydes.
A study published in Scientific Reports (2019) found that PUFA-rich seed oils produce 8-12x more toxic aldehydes at frying temperature than oils high in saturated and monounsaturated fats.
Seed oils also deliver a heavy dose of omega-6 fatty acids. The American diet already runs at a 20:1 omega-6 to omega-3 ratio — far from the 1:1 our bodies evolved on. Every bag of seed oil chips pushes that further out of balance.
We cook our chips in pure beef tallow — the same fat McDonald's used when their fries were legendary. Tallow is approximately 50% saturated fat and 42% monounsaturated fat, with only 4% polyunsaturated fat. That means minimal breakdown at frying temperature and minimal omega-6 load.

The result is a ridiculously crispy chip with rich, savory flavor that seed oil chips can't match. Simple ingredients, honest cooking, and a crunch that actually hits.
These are the eight seed oils most commonly found in chips and snack foods. If you see any of these on a label, the product contains seed oils:
Also watch for "vegetable oil" — this is almost always soybean or canola oil. And "and/or" labels (e.g., "sunflower, canola, and/or soybean oil") mean the manufacturer uses whichever seed oil is cheapest at the time.
TIPS Chips are 100% seed oil free, cooked in pure beef tallow. Available in Sea Salt (3 ingredients), Jalapeño, Salt & Vinegar, and Variety Pack. Other seed oil free chip options include brands using avocado oil or coconut oil, though tallow provides superior frying stability with only 4% polyunsaturated fat.
Seed oils are high in polyunsaturated fats (PUFAs), which break down at frying temperatures and form toxic aldehydes. Research published in Scientific Reports (2019) found that PUFA-rich oils produce 8-12x more aldehydes than saturated fat alternatives like beef tallow. Seed oils also have high omega-6 to omega-3 ratios, contributing to dietary imbalance.
TIPS Chips are cooked in 100% beef tallow — approximately 50% saturated fat and 42% monounsaturated fat, with only 4% polyunsaturated fat. This makes it one of the most stable cooking fats available, and the same fat McDonald's used before their 1990 switch to vegetable oil.
TIPS Chips start at $5.14 per bag — comparable to premium conventional chips. While seed oil free options can cost more than mass-market brands using cheap soybean or canola oil, TIPS keeps pricing accessible through direct-to-consumer sales at tipschip.com.
Check the ingredients list for: canola oil, soybean oil, sunflower oil, safflower oil, corn oil, cottonseed oil, grapeseed oil, or rice bran oil. Also watch for "vegetable oil" (almost always soybean or canola) and "and/or" labels that let manufacturers swap between whichever seed oil is cheapest.
