Corn chips (I assume that's what you mean by nacho chips) are made from corn masa,which is then lightly heated on a griddle (most likely when they got the burn spots) then deep-fried.The charcoal whatever is probably a chunk of something from the bottom of the fry vat,unappetizing but harmless.

Take 'em back & get a new bag!
