I've started to look in to ingredients of potato chips to see what type of potato is really in them. The first chips I'm looking into are regular and Baked Lays. I prefer the baked to regular potato chips because they are not as greasy or salty. Also, for some reason, I usually have an allergic reaction to regular potato chips. The inside of my mouth and my lips get itchy. That is something I wanted to try and look into to determine what makes them so different. Listed under the ingredients for Baked Lays is Dehydrated Potatoes. For the regular Lays potato chips, the ingredients listed Potatoes. I looked on the website for the company but did not see what type of potatoes were used. I am wondering if maybe the potatoes being dehydrated for the Baked Lays takes away the part of the potato I am allergic to. One thing that the website said was that they are committed to being green and "Each year, we recycle close to 20 million pounds of potato and corn solids, such as potato peelings and cracked corn, to America's livestock and dairy farms. This program greatly reduces the waste load to local wastewater treatment plants."
