Tortilla chips are one of my favorite snacks, especially Tostitos Restaurant Style. Each bag says it is gluten free, as well as the Frito Lay website. But after some research I found out that not every bag is. Depending on the plant where they were made, they can either be comlpetely gluten free or be made in a plant that also processes wheat based products. Apparently (according to a celiac.com community member ) after calling Frito Lay she found out that based on the code under the price stamp that you can see if your bag had been processed in a plant that also processes wheat products. If the 2nd or 3rd numbers in the series of numbers is a 71 or 45 they have been made in a plant containing other wheat products. So there you have it Tostitos unraveled. If you still are alittle weary with the Tostitos, try Gaden of Eatin' Yellow corn tortillas, I usually get them from Whole Foods but I have seen them at BJ's Wholesale and Stop n Shop too. They are amazing!! Also visit www.celiac.com, this website is filled with info to answer any question you may have.
