That's right folks!! The maker of Frito's, Tostito's and Dorito's, among many others, applied for and was granted a health claim for fats. As a result, food manufacturers (not just Frito-Lay) will be allowed to claim that their products can reduce the risk of heart disease if they've replaced saturated fats with unsaturated ones. The actual claim states the following:
"replacing saturated fat with similar amounts of unsaturated fats may reduce the risk of heart disease. To achieve this benefit, total daily calories should not increase."
