Super Bowl ads: Calorie counts and ingredients of Doritos Nacho Cheese chips

The Super Bowl is famous for football and commercials, and one of the most prominent and frequent ads during the Super Bowl on Sunday featured Doritos Nacho Cheese chips.

The website provided by the company that makes the chips provides a very low resolution photo of the federally required "Nutrition Facts" that is difficult to read. According to the company website, "Frito Lay North America is the $12 billion convenient foods business unit of PepsiCo."

The chips contain a lot of ingredients that one might not want to be eating if trying to lose weight or eat a healthy diet. Another thing is that the company uses a loophole in FDA regulations to state the chips have no evil "trans fat" because the rules say that if there is not at least 1 gram of transfat per serving then the product can be called "trans fat free." Partially hydrogenated oils ARE trans fats, and the chips contain them fairly high up on the ingredients list.

Another interesting thing listed on the company website is a list of products with symbols of things that are NOT IN the various foods. One of the symbols not listed for the nacho chips is a picture of a pig with a cross through it to indicate that there is no "porcine product" (that would be pork or pig parts in everday language). Hence, by their own definition, the nacho chips contain at least one pig product. Interesting.
