I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but this weekend my little niece,
Haniya, told me that her friends had called Frito-Lay and found out that
Doritos have pork in them. Well, I was shocked and a little skeptical.
However, when I called the company, they confirmed that their cheese
products were not halal -- they actually used the term "halal", which I
found impressive even though the disclosure was disconcerting. She said
they use enzymes in making the cheese for their cheetos and doritos that
come from pork. I asked when they started doing this, and she said the last
2 years they became aware of it. I wanted to start a petition requesting
them to find alternatives, but she said it would be best for individuals to
call, because each call is registered. So, if you are going to miss cheetos
and doritos as much as I am, please call Frito-Lay at 1-800-352-4477, Monday
- Friday, 9:00am-4:30pm. Also, pass on this info. to whomever you know.
