Nitrogen Gas is the gas which is used by manufacturers to fill the packets of chips.

DiyaParmar: but why ??
KaustavTa: what
DiyaParmar: why this gas is used
KaustavTa: Unlike oxygen ( an oxidising gas),nitrogen is inert. Nitrogen inhibits the growth of aerobic bacteria,which in turn,helps elongating the shelf life of the chips.

Also,the cushion of nitrogen prevents the chips from being crushed while they are transported in bulk from the factory to the stores.
