help Ruffles Original FAQ
Who makes Ruffles potato chips?
Ruffles are produced by Frito-Lay, a division of PepsiCo, and are one of the company's core snack brands alongside Lay's, Doritos, and Cheetos. The Ruffles brand has been sold in the United States since the early 1960s.
Why do Ruffles have ridges instead of being flat like Lay's?
Ruffles are crinkle-cut with thick ridges specifically designed to hold heavier dips than flat potato chips. The ridged structure gives the chip more rigidity, preventing it from breaking when scooping thick dips like French onion or queso.
Are Ruffles Original chips gluten-free?
Ruffles Original potato chips are made from potatoes, vegetable oil, and salt, and do not contain wheat-based ingredients. However, Frito-Lay notes that some flavors may be produced on shared equipment, so those with severe celiac sensitivity should consult Frito-Lay's published allergen information.
How many calories are in a serving of Ruffles Original?
A standard 1-ounce serving of Ruffles Original (about 12 chips) contains approximately 160 calories, with around 10 grams of fat and 15 grams of carbohydrates. These figures are consistent with most standard potato chip brands in the Frito-Lay lineup.
