Greetings ya'll~
On food quest again...**sigh**. Looking at Frito-Lay today. Doritos, yummy. So I'm at the Frito Lay's web site and go to their "Good Questions" and lo and behold is this:

Then, I find that you can check and see which products carry the Kosher Certification. That list is here:
Now, Kosher should also show that there are no porcine enzymes in the product, yes? No? Well, do a search and see if Frito Lay's Original Cornchips are in the first list.......no, they are not. However, they are on the Kosher list. Hmmmmm.... what seems not right about that?
Well, porcine enzymes was not the sole purpose of checking out Frito Lay; it was more whether they have GE/GMO base ingredients. So, I made the phone call to their Customer Affairs Division; 1-800-352-4477, I spoke to Nancy (who was very helpful and polite, I might add) and asked her about the GE/GMO in their products.

Now, Kosher should also show that there are no porcine enzymes in the product, yes? No? Well, do a search and see if Frito Lay's Original Cornchips are in the first list.......no, they are not. However, they are on the Kosher list. Hmmmmm.... what seems not right about that?
Well, porcine enzymes was not the sole purpose of checking out Frito Lay; it was more whether they have GE/GMO base ingredients. So, I made the phone call to their Customer Affairs Division; 1-800-352-4477, I spoke to Nancy (who was very helpful and polite, I might add) and asked her about the GE/GMO in their products. She stated that because they buy on the open market they cannot guarantee that there are no GE/GMO in the products except their "Natural Line".
Frito-Lay’s first-ever line of Natural snacks contain no preservatives, no added colors and nothing artificial. All of the new Natural snacks made with organic ingredients have been certified by the USDA accredited certifying agency Oregon Tilth. These all-natural products, made with organic ingredients, offer people the great taste they have come to expect from Frito-Lay.
