Most chips don't, but you need to read the ingredients on the back of the bag.

Depends where you're getting your chips.
Re. 'get baked, not fried' -- I've never seen a 'baked' one that didn't have some fat in it. A completely fat-free chip would be pretty dry and unappetising.
Do you mean chips, crisps, or chips, fries?
One of the better-loved chip wagons here uses lard, so -- careful. But if you're talking about stuff in bags from the store, very few do. Just ask or read a label.

I agree with john b. Look for baked not fried, cause if they are fried, they might be fried in lard or animal fat. I don't think so, though, because animal fat is more expensive than veggie oil.
Always read the ingredients though, because I know that some crackers have chicken fat.
Good luck, and I hoped that helped!

they have no animal fats in them.
Most chips do not now a days, and will state cooked in vegetabel oil, cooked in peanut oil/cooked in soybean oil. If they don't mention it on the package it will be in the ingredients list, chips are usually cooked in canola or soybean oil.
Some chips do have meat though, depending on the flavor, doritos is jsut cheese flavored (or ranch) and do not but you may have to be careful with certain brands such as "taco" flavored. Just read the back.
Things to look for in ingredients lists include lard, animal shortening, geletain, rennet, Glycerine, cochineal, carmine, or carminic acid.
If you are vegan though you will have a longer list of what to watch out for many have dairy fats, cheese dorritos would be one of those, as would cheddar and sour cream flavored chips.

Not all chips are made the same way, you'll have to read the bag, but not normally!
