Same taste, guilt-free!

These taste exactly and if not better that the original cheetos. I'm very glad I got an extra bag. I hope Fritos decides to keep these around, I really appreciate them making them a bit more healthier than the current chips. 10/10!

Healthier and better

Wow absolutely incredible. They managed to take out so much junk and make them taste exactly the same if not slightly better. As someone who has enjoyed flaming hot cheetos for 20 years, very excited for this!

Satisfied

Did not do a side by side with the OG but these are so close if not identical to my memory of og hot Cheetos that I am totally happy with them and will definitely purchase again!

Nearly identical flavor, a little more limey

Red 40 causes agitation and irritability in me, but I really wanted some spicy cheetos or hot fries. These are phenomenal. They're nearly identical in flavor, but with a presence of lime, which may be the buttermilk since there is no citrus or citric acid listed? I genuinely prefer these over the flavor of the less expensive, more abundant version we've had for decades. Just goes to show that we don't need dyes or artificial flavors to make really delicious snacks!

Delicious , but has random hard pieces

I am so glad they took the dyes out. I absolutely love these. just enough spice for me. Really strong crunch. HOWEVER, recently it seems like there are some very hard pieces, darker yellow than other pieces, that are really bad. They are much harder than the normal chips and stick in your teeth like caramel chews. Not sure if it's a bad batch or quality dropping. without those these are 5 stars for sure.

Tastes Exactly The Same without the Toxic Garbage

Wow, FINALLY! RED40, along with all other artificial food colors that follow the same name format are so toxic to us, yet they are in high concentrations in most of our foods. I tend to finish a whole bag of hot cheetos while watching TV.. I usually feel a bit sick after, but not with these. I'll ONLY buy non-dyed hot cheetos from this point forward, and will wait for other chips and foods to catch up.

Worth a try!

These are pretty good. They taste different than the original. The heat sneaks up on you. It takes a few seconds before you notice. You pop one and think nothing of it so you add a second one it will hit you as your eating the second one. Everyone agreed these are hotter than the original. You can taste more heat and less flavoring than the original but they are good. They kind of keep you going back for more but they are kind of hard to keep eating if you don't have a great spice tolerance.

Cheetos got naked, and I am here for it!

Completely stripped down. PepsiCo removed all artificial colors, flavors, and preservatives while keeping the intense taste intact. Clean hands! Because there are no bright neon orange dyes, you can eat these without completely staining your fingertips. Surprisingly bold. Whether you choose the Cheddar Puffs or the Flamin' Hot Crunchy, the flavor relies on real cheese and natural spices. A brilliant upgrade. It proves we never actually needed the artificial food dyes to enjoy a delicious, late-night junk food craving.

Delicious! W/out dyes - hooray!! Thank you!!!

These are delicious! We did blind taste tests with our whole camping crew (20 adults) and no one could guess right or tell the difference! My kids LOVE flaming hot Cheetos but we haven't gotten them for a while since learning and experiencing the terrible effects of artificial dyes. Bought these on a whim and wanted to support companies making an effort to go dye free. These taste amazing and just the same as the other ones. Thank you for taking some of the junk out. And for offering products without dyes
