PLANO, Texas - Frito-Lay Inc. says it will sell a new lineup of tortilla chips with fewer than half the carbohydrates in the company's regular chips.
The company said Wednesday that the new Doritos Edge and Tostitos Edge chips would be on grocery shelves across the country in May. The low-carb Doritos are being tested in Phoenix.
Frito-Lay, a Plano-based unit of PepsiCo, is joining the glut of restaurants and food manufacturers rushing to meet demand spurred by the low-carbohydrate diet fad.
Hardee's and Carl's Jr. fast-food chains are launching a bunless, lettuce-wrapped burger with fewer carbohydrates, and Subway is advertising low-carb sandwiches. A variety of low-carb products have sprung up in supermarkets.
Frito-Lay said it would use soy proteins and fiber in its new chips. It expects the chips will create incremental sales increases.
The snack maker, whose products have long been criticized by nutritionists, has recently rolled out chips with less fat or no fat, and it announced last year it would remove transfats from all its chips.
