frick. I started a health kick craze this very week and bought a bag of these.
Fruit is fruit. Like another poster mentioned, you could be consuming far worse products than banana chips.
With that beings said, dehydrated fruit at retail markets almost always is accompanied with added sugar or preservatives.
What I find alarming about the cited nutritional information is the fat content of banana chips. Bananas have almost no fat calories whatsoever. Therefore, there has been some sort of oil added to the product which produces those additional calories. Chances are, it's not olive, grape, flaxseed, sunflower seed, or coconut oil.
Just eat the fruit fresh like it's meant to be.

It is coconut oil. Coconut oil is not a good oil at all. It accounts for much, if not all of the 14 grams of saturated fat in the chips. People should aim to eat less than 25 grams of saturated fats in a day. 14 grams for just a snack is a LOT of saturated fat.
