Disodium guanylate is another flavour enhancer that is commonly used in Doritos. It is derived from nucleotides, which are naturally occurring compounds found in all living cells. Some people may have an allergic reaction to disodium guanylate, but it is considered safe in small amounts by regulatory bodies. In the United States, Frito-Lay eliminated trans fat from all Doritos varieties in 2002. The same year, the Doritos brand began complying with U.S. Food and Drug Administration labeling regulations, four years before the regulations became mandatory. [10]

Happily, two of the Doritos Dips made in the UK, Mild Salsa and Hot Salsa, are vegan, as tends to be the case with most tomato-based salsas. Non-vegan UK Doritos flavors I do recommend adding a pepper (I put green in the recipe card but really it can be any colour, it’s just that a green one contrasts nicely with all the tomatoes) as it adds a nice amount of chunk. Each flavour of Doritos has its own specific ingredients that are used to create its unique taste. For example, the Nacho Cheese flavour contains cheddar cheese, whey protein concentrate, and natural and artificial flavours. The Cool Ranch flavour contains buttermilk, onion powder, and tomato powder.

The Doritos products below all contain at least one of the following ingredients, and as such, cannot be considered vegan: milk whey powder, buttermilk powder, butter oil, skimmed milk powder, processed cheese powder, lactose, milk protein.

To coincide with the 50th anniversary of Taco Bell, Doritos and Taco Bell partnered to form the Doritos Locos Tacos, introduced on March 8, 2012. The taco is a standard Crunchy Taco. The taco comes either as a Doritos Locos Taco Supreme (ground beef, lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, and sour cream), or a Regular Doritos Locos Taco (ground beef, lettuce, and shredded cheese), but the taco shell is made out of Nacho Cheese Doritos. [55] From 1978 to 1997, both Taco Bell and Doritos were under the same corporate umbrella within PepsiCo until PepsiCo spun off its restaurant business into what would eventually become what is now Yum! Brands. In 2010, Doritos launched for the first time in New Zealand with Nacho Cheese, Cheese Supreme, Salsa, and Salted flavors. It replaced the long-running CC's brand.
