Doritos Dippers Hint of Lime Vegetarian Tortilla Chips, Perfect for Dipping 270g (Case of 8)

Product Information

And when you truly take the taste in, it’s not just lime that’s hinted at – it’s also sour candy and umami and summertime and guilt.

Duritos are deep fried, even though there are some people who microwave them, but honestly, they don’t taste as good as fried ones and of course, the texture is different and not as puffy and crunchy as they’re supposed to be. Not only did the chips not contain any lime, the suit said, it also just didn’t taste like what Tostitos was promoting.

I reached out to Tostitos’s PR to ask about the history of Hint of Lime. When was the brand first produced and marketed? Where does Hint of Lime fit into the Tostitos flavor portfolio? How many bags are sold each year and what region boasts the most sales? It’s unclear why they stonewalled me; maybe the recent lawsuits have executives tight-lipped. Or maybe any peek into their chips’ past was kiboshed after an LA Times investigation exposed the supposed inventor of Flamin’ Hot Cheetos Richard Montañez (and the subject of an upcoming biopic directed by Eva Longoria) as “urban legend” and had PepsiCo executives tripping over each other’s statements to the press. Or it could just be what happens when Frito-Lay-cum-PepsiCo is asked about ingredients, like when a science writer tried to find out why there were pork enzymes in Doritos. Frito-Lay and Sheehan probably entered into a private settlement in exchange for money and an agreement to change the Tostitos Hint of Lime label, according to defense attorney Joshua Kipnees, who co-edits his firm’s false advertising blog, Misbranded. Even for the most baseless of claims, manufacturers will find it cheaper to settle rather than gamble with the drawn-out unpredictability of litigation. As per our research, animal enzymes which are also known as animal rennet, is an an enzyme the food industry uses to prepare cheese by curdling milk. Rennet is extracted by the stomach of a calf or any other animal ( source).

Therefore, it is not safe to assume that the rennet extracted, used in Doritos chips, is extracted and used from an animal that has been slaughtered in accordance to Islamic guidelines.

For a traditional taste of Doritos, try the nacho cheese Quest tortilla-style chips. If you find you love the original nacho cheese flavor you can also try the other two flavors. Everyone has a different threshold to what’s considered halal or not, and we completely respect that. The only one who stands to cash in his chips would be Sheehan, Kipnees added, as the plaintiff’s counsel typically receives about one-third of the settlement fund, on top of case costs. Please be aware that there is a video circulating claiming the crisps contain pork. This may be the case in Doritos manufacture red outside the UK, but those made in the UK are free from animal ingredients.
