)ALLAS (AP) — Cramps, diarrhea and their cause
ned the Battle of Olestra on Wednesday as a con-
ler activist group, Frito-Lay and Procter & Gamble
imed hostilities on the merits of a fat substitute,
it a news conference, the nonprofit Center for
nee in the Public Interest renewed its alarm over the
xtibility of Procter & Gamble’s fat substitute olestra.
Tie Washington, D.C.-based group announced the
ills of a survey showing sporadic outbreaks of diar-
aand cramps among consumers of Frito-Lay’s new
(Chips in tnree test markets.
And they attributed it to the chips,” said Michael
ibson, the activist group’s executive director.
[he watchdog group has asked the Food and Drug
ninistration to reverse its January approval of the
fat. The FDA requires all olestra products to contain
nings that they may cause diarrhea and abdominal
nping.
I acobson said die survey ol 506 people in the test
;ets showed that 135 people had tried the chips,
ly-eight of those experienced at least mild digestive
et, he said, while nine of those characterized their
:omfort as severe.
lowever, Jacobson acknowledged that those ques-
ledwere not asked what other food or drink they had
sumed, whether they had any chronic digestive con-
ms nor what food allergies they had.
urthermore, Procter &- Gamble said the sample
far too small to provide a significant picture of
situation.
Areal, scientific survey with over 5,000 people in
“,S. found that... more than half the people have
estive effects without olestra. And there is no
se and effect established in this survey,” said
jory Allgood, head of P&G’s regulatory and clini-
levelopment section.
iince test marketing of Max Chips began in April,
rehas been about one complaint for every 3,000 bags
Allgood said, adding that 250,000 bags have been
chased.
’lano-based Frito-Lay has been selling its Max Chips
Eau Claire, Wis.; Cedar Rapids, Iowa; and Grand
ction, Colo. It says problems have been infrequent
Ithat the criticism is unfounded and irresponsible.
