Frito-Lay continues to help meet consumers’ ever-changing snack needs, most notably in the areas of weight management and positive nutrition, which along with heart health, comprise our focus in well-being.

Weight Management: Understanding the varying needs of its customers, Frito-Lay offers a variety of products to help those interested in minimizing total fat and caloric consumption.

• In the mid ‘80s, the company launched Reduced Fat Ruffles® potato chips.
• In the early ‘90s, Frito-Lay introduced great tasting Baked! Lay’s® potato crisps and Baked! Tostitos® tortilla chips; the baking process resulted in snacks that were lower in fat and calories than original Lay’s® and Tostitos® chips.
• Along with single-serving bags, Frito-Lay introduced 100 Calorie Mini Bites, which take the guesswork out of portion control.

Positive Nutrition: You may be surprised to know that some of Frito-Lay’s top-selling products contain only three basic ingredients. For example, Lay’s® Classic potato chips contain potatoes, healthier oil, and salt. Fritos® Original corn chips contain corn, healthier oil and salt, and Tostitos® tortilla chips contain corn, healthier oil and salt. These healthier oils include vegetable oils (corn, soybean, canola, and/or sunflower oil). Perhaps even more surprising is that these simple ingredients make some of Frito-Lay's products a good source of potassium and/or vitamins C.
