Potato Chips Pulled Over Unauthorized Colombian Pork
A blind taste test of 12 widely available potato-chip brands compared classic, kettle and wavy styles for texture, saltiness, flavor and performance with onion dip; Pringles drew unanimous criticism from tasters who felt they did not resemble traditional chips. Lay’s has redesigned its classic bags with potato-crate imagery, prominent photos of potatoes and “Made with real potatoes” messaging after market research found that many consumers did not realize the chips were made from potatoes. Home cooks can make loaded potato-skin-style snacks with crisped frozen hash brown patties topped with cheese, bacon, jalapeños, scallions and a barbecue-ranch drizzle. Another recipe recommends baking seasoned corn-tortilla wedges at 375°F for a sturdier, less greasy alternative to fried tortilla chips. Separately, more than 200 pounds of De Todito mixed snacks containing pork crackling were recalled after being distributed to retailers in New Jersey and Utah because the pork came from Colombia.
