| us-2019 | ingredients | unknown | The fold hides the right edge of the 2019 ingredient list: one item printed "Sunflower [...] Powder" between Cheddar Cheese and Whey, the second artificial colour ("Ye[...] Lake") and the first component of Cheddar Cheese are not legible and are not recorded as rows. | ^off-ingr |
| | ingredients | not_researched | PepsiCo's SmartLabel page for the current version (updated 2024-04-20) loads its ingredient, allergen and nutrition tabs by JavaScript; only its header and distributor footer were read. | ^smartlabel |
| usda-2023 | nutrition | unknown | The printed per-package panel of the label behind the 2023 USDA record was not seen; its per-100 g values differ from the 2020/2021 panel (for example sodium 707 mg per 100 g against 260 mg per 28.3 g package), so the recipe or panel changed between them. | ^usda |
| | relationships | unknown | No source read names the manufacturing plant; the pack names Frito-Lay, Inc. only as distributor. | |
| | identity | not_researched | No family stub: the product line across the 1 oz, 2 oz, 2.875 oz and 3.5 oz bags was not researched from the maker's catalogue. | |

## About <!--about-->
Cheetos Crunchy Flamin' Hot Limón is a 1 oz (28.3 g) bag of Flamin' Hot Limón flavoured cheese snacks sold in the United States under the Cheetos brand.[^smartlabel] The pack names Frito-Lay, Inc. of Plano, Texas, as distributor,[^off-ingr] and Frito-Lay is the PepsiCo subsidiary that makes Cheetos.[^wiki-fritolay] The 2019 back label grouped a Flamin' Hot Limon seasoning after enriched corn meal and vegetable oil, and declared milk ingredients and gluten free.[^off-ingr] The 2023 USDA label record lists those seasoning components individually and adds potassium salt.[^usda] The photographed Nutrition Facts panel gives 170 calories per package.[^off-nutr20] The front was redesigned between the 2019 and 2024 photographs.[^off-front19][^off-front24]
Cheetos were invented in 1948 by Fritos creator Charles Elmer Doolin.[^wiki-cheetos] An archived 2007 Barcodepedia page already listed this barcode as Cheetos Flamin Hot Limon, 1 oz.[^bp2007] PepsiCo still published a maker page for the barcode in 2024, after retiring its 2022 version.[^smartlabel][^smartlabel22]
