How can they say their product is GF? END QUOTE Sometimes I think you all think we make this up as we go. Paleeeze! I called the company, I read the bag. I tried the chips. I did not react. Now as some of you may or may not recall I am VERY sensitive to even minute quantities of gluten. Be that as it may, it is still YOUR choice to eat or not to eat a product. But, just for the record, here in the Southern California section of the country a bag of "Baked Lays Original" has the following ingredients listed on the bag: Dehydrated Potatoes, Modified Food Starch, Sugar, Corn Oil, Partially Hydrogenated Soybean Oil, Salt, Soy Lecithin, Leavening, (Monocalcium Phosphate and Sodium Bicarbonate), and Dextrose. The product which (at least here in So.CA) has the "wheat starch, malt extract, yeast extract and barley malt flavor" is the BBQ Flavored Baked Lays, and the company made it clear over the phone and in print that they contain gluten. Should your bag contain the above gluten containing ingredients listed, then you would be foolish to eat them. My bag did not. Perhaps FritoLay markets the product differently in different regions of the country. Many companies do. They market products based on consumer preference. This may be the case with Baked Lays.
