Are there any particular type of corn chips that are made from masa flour

corntortilla-chips

I am wondering if the type "Mexican Style" or "Restauant Style" or "Tortilla" corn chips also means they are made from masa flour? I cannot tell from the ingredients list. It does not say what process was used to make the corn flour.

Tortillas are made from masa. So, if the chip is truly a "tortilla chip", then it was made with masa. Corn chips, like the brand Fritos, are made from corn meal, I believe. Masa is made from nixtamalized corn. Corn meal or corn flour is simply ground corn.
