Ding Dong! The Wheat is dead. Which old Wheat? The Wicked Wheat!
Ding Dong! The Wicked Wheat is dead.
Wake up – sleepy head, rub your eyes, get out of bed.
Wake up, the Wicked Wheat is dead. She’s gone where the goblins go,
Below – below – below. Yo-ho, let’s open up and sing and ring the bells out.
Ding Dong’ the merry-oh, sing it high, sing it low.
Let them know The Wicked Wheat is dead!
As I was lazily browsing Facebook and Twitter this morning with my steaming hot java, I came upon a post shared by Gluten Free Philly about Doritos being reformulated! Up until now the original nacho cheese variety of Doritos contained wheat. Sure, there was a myriad of flavors to choose from, but none of them came close to the Doritos that I came to know and love as a child.

I never did understand why the original flavor contained wheat, but so many others were gluten-free. I am pleased to see that Frito Lay has made this change, whatever the reason may be. Please exercise caution by checking the label to ensure you have the new, reformulated variety before digging in. The old version that contains wheat is clearly labeled. Additionally, the Frito Lay website has not been updated to show the new formulation.
Now, off to see if I can locate a bag so that I can enjoy my lunch – turkey sandwich with Doritos on it!

omg what a blessing for the parents of an asd child who eats no more than five things on the planet, a mild reprieve from the slow starvation of enforcing a gluten free diet on a three year old autistic chid
I just checked the website for Frito Lay. The only Dorito flavor that is gluten free is plain. http://www.fritolay.com/your-health/us-products-n… FYI
