Frito-Lay to unleash gluten-free snacks; Lay's, Doritos, Ruffles, Tostitos and Sun Chips to carry no gluten label

Frito-Lay, one of the largest snack makers in the world, has launched an initiative that will see qualifying products carry a gluten-free label.

 With brands that include Lay's, Doritos, Ruffles, Tostitos and Sunchips, the snack food manufacturer has announced plans to develop a multi-year gluten-free validation process that would allow some of its North American products to carry the health claim.

 Foods will not be reformulated but tested in accordance with limitations set by the Food and Drug Administration of 20 parts per million.
