Are Your Potato Chips to be made with Healthier Sunflower Oil
Frito-Lay today announced a change that could mean its line of chips could be a little healthier for you. Hmmm…
In an effort to reduce saturated fats in its chip products Lays will probably be followed by other snack producers. It was only three ago that Frito-Lay eliminated transfat fats from its snacks.
Saturated fat in the flagship Lay’s Classic chips, for example, will drop by 66%, from 3 grams per 1-ounce serving to a single gram. Based on Lay’s total sales, the switch will cut 60 million pounds of saturated fat a year from the nation’s diet, says Rocco Papalia, senior vice president of R&D.
Nice move Frito-Lay! Of course it does not solve the fat problem in the U.S. but at least you’re moving in the right direction. And you did it all in an effort of pursuing healthier snacks without any external pressures… yea right… [Are Your Potato Chips to be made with Healthier Sunflower Oil]
