Principals
of several elementary schools in southern California have forbidden
Flamin’ Hot Cheetos, a popular crunchy snack among kids because they
contain less or no nutritional value and if the children are caught with
them, they would be confiscated, KTLA news reported.
Several Pasadena schools have banned the snack food and have cited nutritional value as the reason, the television station reported.
A snack-sized bag contains 25 grams of fat and quarter of the amount of Sodium.
The principal of Andrew Jackson Elementary School in Pasadena said if students are caught bringing Flamin’ Hot Cheetos to school, the snacks will be confiscated.
The makers of the snack, Frito-Lay, in a statement said that “it’s committed to responsible and ethical marketing practices, which includes not marketing our products to children ages 12 and under.”
“We also do not decide which snacks are available on school campuses and do not sell snack products directly to schools,” the statement says.
