Cheetos are manufactured by blending corn and water. The germ of the corn is removed to prevent spoiling; the germless corn is then ground into cornmeal. Because the cornmeal lacks the nutrients provided by the germs, it is enriched by adding nutrients in order to increase its nutritional value.

No, unfortunately, Cheetos aren't suitable for vegans. In fact, they're not even vegetarian-friendly. They contain dairy (which you might have guessed they're cheese flavour) but they are also produced by using animal enzymes making them non-vegan or vegetarian.

A lot really good on the cheese. Intensity level right. So it's not waning on the amount of cheese flavor. But sometimes you can have on a popcorn it's just a hint of the flavor.

Cheetos are not thin, flat or salty–they are long, round and cheesy. Instead of being a chip, through the way Cheetos are made, they fit into a different category completely - puffs. “It's actually a corn puff,” the Food Network video stated. “The crunchy variety is fried, while the puffs are baked.”

According to the article, however, Montañez did in fact rise from a floor-level position to a marketing executive at Frito-Lay, and he was involved in pitching new products such as Flamin' Hot Popcorn while still a machine operator in 1993 followed by two types of Fritos - Flamin' Hot and Lime and Chile Corn Chips.

Richard Montañez was born to a Mexican-American family in Ontario, California. He's widely known for claiming he invented the Flamin' Hot Cheeto during his time working as a janitor at Frito-Lay's Rancho Cucamonga factory in 1976.

History. Cheetos were invented in 1948 by Fritos creator Charles Elmer Doolin, who cooked early test batches in the Frito Company's research and development kitchen in Dallas, Texas. The cheese-flavored snack sold quickly, but Doolin did not have the production or distribution capacity to support a nationwide launch.

The first Cheetos product ever released was Crunchy Cheetos. Crunchy Cheetos were invented in 1948 in San Antonio, Texas. It remained the brand's only Cheetos product until the introduction of Cheetos Puffs in 1971. There's a name for the cheesy dust you get all over your fingers from Cheetos.

PepsiCo clarified who's credited with the invention of the spicy chip brand - and in its statement, attributed "the launch and success of Flamin' Hot Cheetos and other products to several people who worked at PepsiCo, including Richard Montañez."

Unfortunately, cheese is not vegan, since it is a dairy product that comes from cows. Every Flamin' Hot Cheetos recipe (original, Lime, Puffs, and XXTRA Flamin' Hot) uses dairy products like cheddar cheese, whey, and buttermilk as part of their flavoring agents.

The straight answer is that Hot Cheetos are not vegetarian. They contain animal-derived ingredients that make them unsuitable for those following a vegetarian diet. Although they do not contain any meat or fish, they do contain dairy products, which are not considered vegetarian.

That spice, and the ensuing endorphin release, is part of what makes Flamin' Hot Cheetos so tempting to devour handfuls at a time.
