About Snacks, corn-based, extruded, puffs or twists, cheese-flavor

Cheese puffs are the light, airy, melt-in-the-mouth corn snacks coated in a bright cheese-flavored powder — the ones that famously turn your fingers orange. Crunchy, salty and savory, they're a quintessential processed snack.

Made from extruded cornmeal fried or baked and dusted with seasoning, they're built on refined carbohydrate and oil with a cheese-flavored coating. That makes them calorie-dense, high in fat and sodium, and low in fiber or real nutrition — the 'cheese' is mostly flavoring rather than significant dairy.

Cheese puffs are pure snack-food fun, with little nutritional pretense — an occasional treat where the salt, fat and orange fingers are all part of the experience.
