Sugar content & low-sugar alternatives for kids

Doritos is Frito-Lay's flavored tortilla chip brand. Sugar isn't the issue here — most variants run under 1g per serving — but the seasoning, sodium, and ultra-processed ingredient list keep them out of our published kids catalog. If you're looking for a low-sugar crunchy snack with cleaner ingredients, the alternatives below are better picks.
