What process do the frozen food companies use to freeze potato chips?

Frozen food companies typically use a process called flash freezing to freeze potato chips. After the chips are cooked and seasoned, they are rapidly cooled using blast freezers, which expose them to extremely low temperatures for a short period. This method helps preserve the texture and flavor of the chips while preventing the formation of large ice crystals. The chips are then packaged and stored at low temperatures to maintain their quality until they are ready for distribution.
