Clear Nutritional Information

Frito-Lay values the importance of clearly and transparently communicating with consumers about its products, which is why the company frequently introduces new on-package information to ensure that consumers are well-informed about product attributes important to them.

  • Frito-Lay began full nutritional labeling in 1989, before the 1992 FDA requirements.
  • The company listed trans fat content on the nutritional panel of its core brands more than two years in ahead of the 2006 FDA mandate.
  • While most Frito-Lay snack chips are available in single-portion packaging, the company’s small-to-medium-sized packages include dual labeling that provides consumers with nutritional information for a single serving and the entire package.
  • In 2006, Frito-Lay began providing valuable information about the intake of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats and the content of these fats on the nutrition facts panels of its Lay’s® potato chips, which helps consumers to identify "good" unsaturated fats.
