      I would say no single snack is unhealthy, but that snacks which contain a very high amount of sugar and saturated fat are worse for you. Health is about how much you eat over a long period of time and getting the right balance of different food types.

      In the food industry scientists and engineers do a lot of work to reduce the salt, sugar and fat content of snack foods.
