Common concerns with Tostitos products

Plain Tostitos (corn, vegetable oil, salt) have a minimal ingredient profile. Tostitos Hint of Lime and other flavored varieties contain natural and artificial flavors, citric acid, and disodium inosinate/guanylate (flavor enhancers related to MSG). Tostitos dips and salsas may contain sodium benzoate or potassium sorbate as preservatives. The flavored salsa and dip lineup is where most concerns concentrate.
