What are the black specs in Fritos?!


Question: What are the black specs in Fritos!?
I heard they were mouse droppings from mice getting into the corn or cornmeal or whatever they use to make it!. Is this true!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

Answers:
It's part of the corn itself!! When they make it, I believe they use dried or partially dried corn!. When coarsely ground, it has some black specs in it!.!.!.

Do not listen to folks that say things like that!!Www@FoodAQ@Com
It's probably the heart of the corn kernel - Fritos Original only has 3 ingredients: corn, corn oil and salt!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
The black specks are actually fresh ground pepper corns!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
