Is Corn Puffs healthy?
Mixed — it has real upsides but isn't a free pass. Corn Puffs is low in sugar. On the downside, it's high in salt (2.2g/100g) and calorie-dense with limited fibre, so it's easy to overeat. A typical 22g serving is 114 kcal — portion size is what usually decides whether a snack like this fits a healthy diet.
