Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: Anybody having a hard time finding Guiltless Gourmet Chips?

They are still making them - you can check out their Website at www.guiltlessgourmet.com. They have a store locator which might help.

It look like they've changed their formula. (Is this Change Your Perfectly Good Manufactured Food Formula week? I'm doing a post on Hellmann's mayonnaise in a minute.) I found a listing for the old style Blue Corn Tortilla chips on Amazon ( web page). I compared what that listing says to what the new information on the Guiltless Gourmet web site says. The old and new ingredient list is identical:
Stone Ground Organic Blue Corn, Expeller Pressed (Canola or Safflower, or Sunflower) Oil, Salt, Lime

The calorie and calories from fat info is a little different:

Old: 110 calories, 15 from fat (13.6% CFF)
New: 120 calories, 27 from fat (22.5% CFF)

The other nutrition info is:
Old: Total Fat 2 grams; Saturated Fat 0g; Trans Fat 0g
New: Total Fat 3 grams; Saturated Fat 0g; Trans Fat 0g

Old: Sodium 160 mg
New: Sodium 230 mg

So they put more fat and more salt in it. More mainstream basically. These are still within the safe 25% CFF range Heather recommends but phooey! The chips were fine the way they were.

Okay, I decided to compare the new Guiltless Gourmet Yellow Corn chips with Baked Tostitos:

GG: Stone Ground Organic Yellow Corn, Expeller Pressed (Canola or Safflower, or Sunflower) Oil, Salt, Lime
BT: Whole Corn, Vegetable Oil (one or more of Corn, Sunflower, Soybean), Salt

GG: 120 calories, 30 from fat (25% CFF)
BT: 120 calories, 25 from fat (20.8%)

GG: 3 grams fat, 250mg sodium
BT: 3 grams fat, 130mg sodium

I wonder if Trader Joe's still makes their nice 15% CFF tortilla chips.

HTH.
