About Fritos scoops

Fritos Scoops are a type of corn chip snack developed in the United States as an extension of the original Fritos brand, which dates back to 1932. Designed for dipping, their thick, durable shape makes them ideal for scooping salsa, guacamole, or other dips. Made from ground corn, vegetable oil, and salt, Fritos Scoops are considered a processed snack food. A serving size of 28 grams (about 12 chips) provides approximately 160 calories, with 10 grams of fat, 16 grams of carbohydrates, and 2 grams of protein. They are low in sugar but relatively high in sodium, with about 110 mg per serving, making them a less nutrient-dense option for regular consumption.

Health Benefits

• Corn, the primary ingredient, provides a source of dietary fiber, which supports digestion when consumed as part of balanced meals.
• Contains trace amounts of iron (about 2% of the daily recommended intake per serving), which is essential for oxygen transport in the blood.
• Provides a quick source of energy due to its carbohydrate content, beneficial for short-term energy needs.

Dietary Considerations

Allergens: Contains corn

Suitable for: Vegetarian diet, gluten-free diet (if processed in a facility without cross-contamination)

Not suitable for: Low-sodium diet, whole-food, plant-based diet

Selection and Storage
