Fritos Original
Summary
Fritos Original scores 17/100. Food Democracy Now / The Detox Project 2016 testing (Anresco Laboratories) confirmed positive for glyphosate. Three-ingredient deck — corn, corn oil, salt — is unusually short for a Frito-Lay product, but corn oil is high in omega-6 fatty acids and the corn is conventional (not organic, likely glyphosate-treated upstream).
