    First they're booted out of Coolock and now Maurice Prat (C&C) wants to sell on the brand...

    Well they might as well because they promised to keep to the recipe after leaving Coolock but surprise surprise they didn't. they are very different and have a look at the packet. All of a sudden they are using hydrogenated rapeseed oil.... YUK YUK YUK :mad:

    This is all news to me.. haven't had a Tayto in ages tbh.

    They're not in Coolock anymore? how come?

    I've probably been underweight (not unhealthly so, but still..) my whole life. All this 'low fat' stuff annoys me too. Anyway, If I were on a diet I wouldn't be eating feckin crisps for a start.

    Noooooooo! It isn't low fat... in fact its the furthest you could get from "healthy"

    Hydrogenated oils are when they turn healthy liquid oils into hard fat (like margerine) they use it in biscuits and pastry and cristp to make them crispier and stay that way longer. these are the fats that stick to your arteries and clog you up... :(

    Tayto NEVER used these before yer man sold the company promising the reecipe would not be changed. HRUMPH! :mad:

    That's dreadful if it's true.. there's no reason to use hydrogenated oil for frying crisps, it's not like there isn't enough of the gunk around already.

    Hydrogenated oil level information should be mandatory on food packaging & school kids should be educated about all of this sort of stuff.

    In some cases you can taste the difference when hydrogenated oils are used - there are a brand (Jacobs I think) of catering biscuits sold in packs of two, most of the varieties use hydrogenated oil, but the oat flavour doesn't, comparing them you can easily notice the nasty cloying coarse oil texture of the hydrogenated version, whereas the oat verision uses butter and tastes far better (hydrogenated oil is suspected to be worse than saturated fat).

    Also sometimes you can see big solid white blocks of fat being loaded into the fryers in some of the big fast food chains, again this is hydrogenated oil being used.
