Common forms include puffs (puffed), popped chips, and crunchy pieces; product listings use labels such as "Puffed", "Popped", and "Pieces".
Many listings describe these snacks as baked or explicitly state "Never Fried." Some products also use pressing techniques to apply or form the cheese flavor.
Nutrition details vary and many items don't list protein/fiber. Examples in the data: one plant-based chickpea puff lists 4 g protein and 3 g fiber per 1‑oz serving; another lists 3 g plant protein and 2 g fiber per 0.8‑oz serving. Other products did not specify protein or fiber in the provided details.
Several listings explicitly state "No Artificial Colors" and "No Artificial Flavors," indicating many options avoid artificial colorings and flavorings.
Both occur: some snacks use real cheese, while others use plant-based or vegan "cheese" formulations and are labeled dairy-free or explicitly note they contain no real cheese.
