 Frito-Lay Agrees to Label Fake Fat Olestra More Clearly on its “Light” Chips ~ Newsroom ~ News from CSPI
Olestra causes diarrhea, cramping, fecal incontinence, and other symptoms in a small percentage of consumers, and CSPI contended that in 2004 the company downplayed the presence of that ingredient when it changed the name of its olestra-containing chip line from “WOW!” chips to “Light.”
As part of a settlement agreement, Frito-Lay will prominently display an oval-shaped Olean logo and a banner reading “made with olestra” on fronts and a short statement noting the presence of olestra on the backs of packages of Doritos Light, Lay’s Light, Ruffles Light, and Tostitos Light.
Frito-Lay will also make a $150,000 award to the Harvard Medical School Division of Nutrition, which was not a party to the dispute.
