pWe eat the baked Tostitos and all it has in their ingredients are corn and salt. Being new at this, I called the company about cross contamination issue and labeling. I was told that if it contained it it would read "may contain" etc. I looked at many of their labels the last time I went to the supermarket, and did not find one that said "may contain". The girl seemed young and like she was reading from a script. Anyway, just wanted your thoughts and experiences. Thanks. I guess in light of the Kelloggs issue, I just am finding a hard time with a "comfort level."/p

Hi, we eat Frito Lay products all the time(of course I always check the label first) and have had no problems. I should add that my son (at this time at least) does not have a reaction to "airborne" so my comfort level is also okay w/Kelloggs products.
momtonickie, we have never had a problem with Frito Lay products. They were one of the companies that I had to contact because the chips that are provided on pizza day at my son's school are Frito Lay's. I did not ask about dedicated lines, etc., but did feel that I had received a good enough answer for myself.
I have read elsewhere on this board, however, that some people have had problems with their products. I can't remember which threads now exactly, but I do know that some people have had some concerns. I, however, to-date, have not.
Hope this helps.
Best wishes! [img]http://uumor.pair.com/nutalle2/peanutallergy/smile.gif[/img]

We eat Frito-Lay products too. I feel more comfortable with the simple products like regular potato chips and plain Fritos, but once in a while will treat the kids to Doritos and my son has never had a problem with them either. However, watch out for the Lay's Homestyle potato chip line because of peanut oil. I called the company (about 4 months ago), and they indicated that the Homestyle line was made in a separate facility so there wasn't a risk of cross-contamination.
Hi Mom2Nickie,
My son has not had any problems with Frito Lay products. He loves BBQ and plain Fritos and he loves Doritos.

Stay Safe.
Hi,
When I talked to Frito Lay/Hostess (in Canada) last fall I was informed that their peanut containing products were manufactured in a completely seperate plant and therefore unless their was a may contain label on the product there wasn't even a chance of cross contamination. We have eaten a variety of their products since then (including Doritos) without any problem.
Happy Munching!!

My son eats Doritos and Lay's chips all the time. Beware of Cheeto's crunchy! They contain peanut oil!

I buy Cheeto's crunchy all the time and read the label all the time and peanut oil is never on the ingredients list. Are you sure you mean Frito-Lay Cheeto's?

when I called Frito a several months ago, they said that they do not make anything with peanut products. We eat fritos and regular Lays potatoe chips on occasion, and tostitoes a lot. Haven't had any problems.
I read the cheeto's crunch label all the time to and have never seen peanut oil. My 21 month old loves these.
I am sure that the Cheetos Crunchy in my area (Ohio) contain peanut oil. Maybe it varies according to the plant they are made in. I just checked a bag that my Grandmother was serving at a family picnic on Mother's day and there was peanut oil in them. The Cheetos which are not crunchy do not have peanut oil, however.
