Doritos Flavored Beef Jerky Is Now A Thing
Doritos flavored beef jerky is now a thing. I do enjoy Doritos and beef jerky separately, I’m not quite sure how I feel about them mixing the two together. Here are the details. According to Food and Wine, Frito Lay and Jack Links have partnered up for a new beef jerky that tastes like Spicy Sweet Chili Doritos. Would I try it, of course I would.
Now I’m sure you’re asking, what about other Dorito flavors? Are they doing Cool Ranch Doritos or the normal Nacho Cheese Dorito? Not yet, but the door is always open for down the road I guess. Now if you give me beef jerky that tastes like the regular Nacho Cheese Doritos, I’m all in! I would even give Cool Ranch beef jerky a shot.
Jack Links is doing a new Flaming Hot beef jerky as well, but its not affiliated with Cheetos or Doritos. I’m not sure if these are in stores yet around the CSRA or not. However, you can rest assured that I’ll be on the look out. I’m feeling like another Kicks Wake Up Krew taste test video may be in store when I find these.

5 Of the Riskiest Foods Linked to Recalls
A new Consumer Reports study has ranked the riskiest foods. They analyzed data from the CDC, the Food and Drug Administration, and the Department of Agriculture between 2017 and 2022. Their researchers focused on “widely consumed foods” that had recalls over a specific duration of time.
According to Consumers Reports, the CDC estimates that 48 million people each year fall ill from salmonella, listeria, E. coli, or other bacteria or viruses in food. They said most recover on their own after a few days. But about 130,000 people are hospitalized and 3,000 die from foodborne illnesses yearly.
Some of the foods that are ranked at the top of the list include bagged salads, poultry products, and deli meats. The top five are leafy greens, deli cheese and meat, ground beef, onions, and poultry. Bagged salads and other leafy greens ranked number one on the list. They found 50 different recalls linked to them since 2017. Also, it has the most caused deaths. Last on the list at number ten is flour. Unlike leafy greens, flour has had zero total deaths.
“We aren’t saying people need to avoid these foods entirely,” says Brian Ronholm, director of food policy at CR, who led the analysis. “After all, these foods are all usually safe, and many of them are in fact important parts of a healthy diet.” Ronholm continued to say in Consumers Report that the list underscores the “importance of following best food safety practices with all of your foods, including knowing how to track, and respond, to food recalls when they happen.” Read the entire list, and learn how you can reduce your risk at Consumer Reports.
