Frito Lay Product Contamination


diapason05

Recommended Posts

diapason05 Rookie

I went to their site and looked up all their gluten-free products.. They do say that all products are made on same line..

I am pretty sure that

*Cracker Jacks

*Natural White Cheddar Cheetos

*Hot, Honey Roasted, and Regular Peanuts by FritoLay

have all caused me to have a reaction.

But!! Now, of course, I have to question whether the Dairy that might have been in the Cheetos and Cracker Jacks.., and the Peanuts, themselves, might actually be the cause of me feeling sick- and not the possibly gluten-contamination.

Anyone have any experience with their products (I'm sure you have, there is a huge amount of gluten-free Frito Lay products.)

I have trouble with Frito Lay products that are flavored. The BBQ Lays Stacks made both my son and me sick even though the can says Naturally Gluten Free. I have not had a problem with plain Fritos or Plain Lays Chips.

There are a few items made on dedicated lines, although I can't remember which ones other than the Stax. They are on their own lines and no flavor has gluten.

Me and son are also soy-free.

I was happy to see that the Fritoes round container of 'Scoops', their regular corn chip only in a different shape for dipping, totally agrees with me and son.

And we are both very severely gluten-sensitive, so I would say the plain Fritoes corn chips are definitely safe to eat (at least the 'Scoops' in the round container, that's what I've tried personally and can attest to for sure).

Best wishes to all!

I have had problems with lays and fritos. I even got sick from the lays stax from all the oil in them. I dont eat any of their products anymore. I pretty much just stick to kettle chips and boulder chips now.

Me, too. Fritos sometimes give me problems, but I don't think it's a gluten problem ... I think it's a junk food problem ... I normally eat very healthy, so Fritos don't sit well. Lay's Stax plain are always okay though ... I think they just aren't as greasy as Fritos.

Really, any flavored product affects me.

      I agree with @trents and wiping down the spot you eat your lunch, and eating the food your brought from home should be safe for even sensitive celiacs. Gluten can jump on your food, so it would likely better better for you to continue eating where you prefer.

      I would think that as long as you keep your food on a wrapper or on a paper plate you would not be at risk for cross contamination. You may be overthinking it all which is common for those in the first year of the celiac journey. But let me ask you. Are you feeling self-conscious about having a celiac diagnosis? I notice the term "isolated" in your thread title. Do you fear being shunned? I offer this video clip for your consideration:

      I’m worried about cross contamination, as people don’t clear up properly. I take my own lunch in a packed lunch box with my own cutlery, plate etc and wash it all at home everyday rather than using the schools communal options. There is always crumbs or food left out for us to share on tables etc.

      Welcome to the forum, @Tanya177! Help us understand why you don't eat with the other staff members at the present time. I'm assuming you already pack your own lunch rather than eating school cafeteria food. Surely there are other staffers who bring their own lunches. How would this be different if you did not have celiac disease?
