Hi- in regards to pixelated's post to this list recently on the status of
baked lays regular- I do have a problem here as after her (his?) first
posting, I went to the supermarket and wrote down the ingredients- Baked
Lays Regular: Modified Food Starch, Natural flavours, spices, torula yeast,
wheat starch, malt extract, yeast extract and barley malt flavour.These
were not all the ingredients- only the ones that I questioned. How can they
say their product is GF?

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.
Sincerely,
Lynda Swink
