Jalapeno Corn Chips Ingredients and Allergens
Ingredients
There are three main ingredients in the Jalapeno corn chips: Corn, Corn Oil, and Spicy Jalapeno Seasoning.
The seasoning on its own, however, has quite a few ingredients. Here is the list.
Jalapeno Seasoning
Ingredients in seasoning:Maltodextrin (made from corn), Salt, Monosodium Glutamate, Whey, Dextrose, Spices, Natural Flavors, Onion Powder, Sodium Diacetate, Sugar, Sour Cream (cultured cream, skim milk), Modified Corn Starch, Sunflower Oil, Canola Oil, Corn Syrup Solids, Garlic Powder, Jalapeno Peppers, and Artificial Flavor.
What is Maltodextrin?
Maltodextrin is a class of processed polysaccharides (i.e., carbohydrates) derived from rice, wheat, corn or potato starch used to improve flavor, as a thickener, and to increase shelf life.
Maltodextrin is frequently used to thicken puddings, frostings, pastries, and salad dressings, among other processed foods.
As a simple carbohydrate, it is easily digested. Because of this, Maltodextrin is often used in sports drinks.
The Jalapeno Seasoning in Fritos corn chips contain Maltodextrin. Other food items that contain maltodextrin include:
Allergens
The corn chips are made with ingredients that contain milk.
