Frito-Lay Snack Chips Contain Zero Grams
of Trans Fat
Frito-Lay was the first food company in the U.S. to remove
trans fat from their snack chips. The removal of trans fat
required a conversion to cooking oils that are not partially
hydrogenated.
Frito-Lay was also the first company to list trans fat information on the nutrition facts panel of its packaging - prior to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's final ruling requiring it to be added. The company actively followed the nutrition research on trans fatty acids and moved proactively to include trans fat information in accordance with the FDA's interim guidelines.
