The Good Crisp Company earned Seed Oil Free Certification for its full Crinkle Cut Chips line, with independent lab testing and ingredient audits confirming the products contain no seed oils. The certification, overseen by the Seed Oil Free Alliance, responds to growing consumer interest in ingredient transparency, including the roughly one-third of Americans who report preferring to avoid seed oils.
The Crinkle Cut Chips only use RSPO Certified Sustainable Palm Oil, produced according to the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil's standards, and remain gluten-free and free of artificial colors and GMO ingredients. The Seed Oil Free Certified seal now appears on all Crinkle Cut Chips packaging, and the brand is pursuing certification across additional product lines.
The Good Crisp Company's certification shows how brands are turning third-party verification into a competitive differentiator.
