I just checked the Frito-Lay site and it says almost all their chips are gluten-free. Whoo!

FYI: The "regular" Doritos flavor (nacho cheese) is not gluten free. It contains wheat and has it clearly listed.

Many of the other Doritos flavors are gluten-free. Thanks for the link.

Yea right, suuuure they are. They actually have many, many, many "gluten-free", by ingredients at least, products. However, the risk of CC issues with these products is really high. If you are new to the diet you may want to wait until you have been without symptoms for a while before you try these. I refuse to touch any of their products personally. For me it is like playing roulette. One bag will be fine and the next may make me sick for a week. Not worth the risk for me.

That's really good to know. They say they even wash the equipment after they've processed the gluten products. I like to eat their natural white cheese puffs.
I've steered clear of Doritos because of the trans fats but every great once in a while I would savor a bag.

We also avoid Frito-Lay because of cross contamination. We eat Trader Joe's chips, Kettle chips, Terra chips, and Walmart Cheetos instead.

Last I knew, regular Nacho Doritios are not g/f since there is wheat clearly listed, I haven't checked in a long time, no need. I have used the white cheddar, organic natural doritos with no problems but I don't buy them too often.

Since Terra Chips were mentioned...

Wanted to mention that the Mediterranean flavored Terra Chips have Wheat Starch listed in the ingredients...found out the hard way. sad.gif

REALLY? ohmy.gif We bought them and read the ingredients and did not see wheat. Was I skimming too fast or was there a recent change in the ingredients? My son, who has celiac, did not care too much for them but I did give them to him a few times! ohmy.gif
