Frito-Lay Study: Olestra Causes "Anal Oil Leakage"
In documents marked "Confidential and Proprietary," Frito-Lay admits that olestra caused "anal oil leakage" in a study commissioned by the company. Olestra is the controversial non-caloric fat substitute marketed by Procter & Gamble.
Last April, Frito-Lay became the first company to market olestra-containing chips. It sold a line of "Max" potato chips and corn chips in three test markets. It is expected to begin a new test market in Indianapolis in several days.
The Frito-Lay report states: "The anal oil leakage symptoms were observed in this study (3 to 9% incidence range above background), as well as other changes in elimination. . . . Underwear spotting was statistically significant in one of two low level consumer groups at a 5% incidence above background." Despite those problems, the authors of the report concluded that olestra-containing snacks "should have a high potential for acceptance in the marketplace."
