Doritos Flamin' Hot Nacho Cheese Tortilla Chips (18.875 oz.)

Product Information

Individual tolerance for this varies from person to person—issues like inflammatory bowel disease can also make unpleasant symptoms more likely in some people—and in some cases spice can trigger symptoms that can be so severe as to warrant emergency treatment. This inspired me to mix Cool Ranch Doritos with Flamin’ Hot Nacho Doritos, and the result was awesome! When I got my bag it was at the perfect time when an employee was clearing the shelf of several empty boxes of these but hadn’t yet opened up the new ones so I got to hover around awkwardly waiting for him to pop one open. A previous complaint lodged by the union in January reported a buildup of seasoning dust but did not mention any adverse health effects for workers. With probable disappointment in mind, I still couldn’t help but pick up the familiar blue Cool Ranch bag, now featuring its corny triangle engulfed in flames.

Spicy chips like those produced in the Adelaide factory are assessed and authorized by food regulators globally but there are reports of complaints among snackers. Eleven of the 13 workers interviewed by the union reported health issues after the seasoning machine was used, UWU said, with complaints including “difficulty breathing,” “eye and skin irritation,” “chest discomfort,” coughing and sneezing. Please always read the labels, warnings, and directions provided with the product before using or consuming a product. Now that this door has been opened, does it mean I should finally make that box of Flamin’ Hot mac and cheese that’s been sitting in my cupboard for a year and a half?The United Workers Union (UWU) has lodged a complaint with the workplace health and safety regulator in South Australia after interviewing staff at the Smith's Snackfood Company factory in Adelaide. I acknowledge that I’m in the minority here because Flamin’ Hot Cheetos have a fierce and loyal following, and Frito-Lay knows it. A peek inside revealed the expected aggressively red powder, and I figured I knew what I was in for. Workers at a crisp factory in Australia have complained that a hot and spicy seasoning is affecting their health.

If you're up to the challenge, grab a bag of Doritos tortilla chips and get ready to make some memories you won't soon forget. In fact, Cool Ranch is the first thing I taste and continue to taste, even if my fingers are bright red. SafeWork SA is looking into the claims after the United Workers Union alleged employees at the Smith’s Snackfood Company factory raised significant safety concerns about the “improper handling of strongly irritating substances”.

To further enhance these measures at our Adelaide site there is mandatory mask-wearing during production of this product and we are installing additional extraction fans. Factory workers in Australia have been suffering from “difficulty breathing,” skin irritation and an array of other health complaints due to the spicy seasoning used to make Doritos corn chips, a union has claimed, sparking an investigation from the local safety watchdog over how the factory handles the seasoning. The Doritos Flamin' Hot Cheese Supreme Corn Chips are described as having a "bold cheesy taste with full flavour and a full-on tooth-rattling crunch".
