SOME vegitarian really sucks... and their already getting paranoid thinking that everyhting has pork!!!
No, that's silly. Just look at the ingredients!
check the ingredients, if it's true they have to put it in the bag.
I don't know but if they did they would have to declare it on the packaging.
No but you'll look like a pig if you eat them! Stay away from junk food, it looks good now but will take years off your life!
no
Ever since I heard that Tang is processed with gelatin, I can only guess that most of the processed food out there is somehow tainted. I hadn't heard this one yet...
There are a certain number of products that contain animal ingredients.. A list can be found on their site at:

they have cheese .. and cheese comes from cows.. so it all depends on where you set your line as far as vegetarian goes..? Haaaa.. why take the chance? Just stop eating them.. more Dorito's (and piggies) for me :)
edit.. thumbs up for the link above my blatent stupidity here.. somebody did their homework.
No way look at ingredients
and some molecule of the air you breath has passed through a pig somewhere at some time.
What is your point. ?
Did you read the ingredients on the package.
Or bother to check their web sites.
only a fool would continue to ask such stupid questions that are so easly proven wrong.
Cheese is processed with an enzyme called "rennet." rennet usually comes from the belly of an animal, and they might be using pork rennet instead of cow rennet.

This is a list of seasoned products made without porcine enzymes.
It looks like the standard Doritos are not on this list (meaning they DO contain pork enzymes.)
Cheetos appear to be on the list though.
None of the Cheetos are considered Kosher, which means that there very likely is some nonvegetarian animal products them.
Here's the Kosher List

(There are two of them, as they use two different certification groups.)
Be sure to look at the list John P linked as well. Definitely check them all though, as I found some inconsistencies among them.
yeah, probably... They don't "have" to put exactly what is in the food on the ingredient label... they get around that by putting, "natural flavors" and not listing what those natural flavors are. Sneaky and wrong if you ask me... even if you call/e-mail the company they still won't tell you exactly what the "natural flavors" are, just whether or not they contain a specific ingredient.
Vegan seems to have answered spot-on, though... I just wanted to put my opinion in there:) you know for those people that think that the companies "have" to list every single ingredient.
It is possible. If the ingredients just list "enzymes", you should call and find out what kind. I just found out that Goldfish crackers contain beef "enzymes". It goes the same with "spices" and "natural flavors", they don't specifically list what those spices and flavors are. Pretty soon we won't be able to eat anything. Now I don't eat anything that contains those words cause who knows what's really in it.
check the ingredients
