% DV refers to how much a single serving of an individually packaged food or supplement contributes nutritionally to your daily diet, based on a 2,000-calorie-a-day diet. Generally, having 5% DV or less of a nutrient per serving is considered low, and 20% DV or more of a nutrient per serving is considered high.

FAQ
No, as they are high in energy density, at 151 kcal, 16 g carbohydrates, 2.5 g fiber, and 9.2 g fat (0.8 g saturated fat). Eating food with higher dietary energy density can lead to 0.3 to 0.6kg greater weight gain annually.
Yes. Due to the 16g carbohydrates per serving, and only 2.5g of fiber, unsalted sweet potato chips is considered to be rapidly absorbable, meaning they are more likely to cause blood sugar spikes. Consuming foods with higher glycemic load are associated with a 27% risk of type 2 diabetes, so even though the unsalted sweet potato chips has 9.2g of fat which may slow gastric emptying, the glycemic impact is not substantially reduced.
Yes, but it is not recommended as each serving has 151 kcal and 16 g carbohydrates with limited fiber (2.5 g). This can strongly impact glycemic control, especially in patients with type 2 diabetes.
