German translation:Nicht von Hand / Maschinell verpackt
Explanation:
It probably means that the chips were not placed in their bags by employees, but by machines. However, I am only medium sure, because that hardly seems like something that the manufacturer would put on their product as a redeeming quality of their chips.

agree  BrigitteHilgner: "maschinell verpackt". (hygienisch sauber - keine schmuddeligen Finger haben sie angefasst ... ;-))

  -> thanks, Brigitte! Dann wäre es aber vielleicht besser "Unter hygienischen Bedingungen verpackt" zu drucken. Normalerweise ist "von Hand verpackt" ja das Qualitätsmerkmal - weil so weniger Leerraum in den Tüten bleibt.
