“Doritos tortilla chips are coated with cheese powder containing disodium inosinate.”
Reliable ingredient labels show that several Doritos products, including Nacho Cheese, list disodium inosinate. But the evidence does not establish that Doritos tortilla chips as a whole contain it, and primary labels do not confirm it is specifically part of a separate “cheese powder coating.” The statement therefore overgeneralizes and overstates what the labels prove.
“Doritos tortilla chips are coated with cheese powder that contains disodium inosinate.”
Reliable ingredient labels show that some Doritos products, including Nacho Cheese variants, contain disodium inosinate in their seasoning. But the claim is phrased as if this applies to Doritos tortilla chips generally, which the evidence does not establish. Different flavors and markets use different formulations, so the blanket statement overstates what the labels show.
“Doritos tortilla chips are sprayed with the food colorings Sunset Yellow FCF (E110, Yellow 6) and Allura Red AC (E129, Red 40), and foods containing these colorings are required to carry warning labels in the European Union.”
The EU warning-label portion is broadly accurate, but the Doritos-specific part is not established by the cited evidence. The record does not reliably show that Doritos generally, or EU-sold Doritos specifically, are "sprayed with" E110 and E129, and the only product-specific source describes lake pigments instead. EU rules also contain limited exceptions, so the labeling statement is not literally universal.
