What are the hours and when should I call?

Frito-Lay, Inc. operates the call center for this 800-352-4477 phone number Mon-Fri 9am-4:30pm CT. The short answer is that you should call on a Friday. This observation and the following section are based on analysis of a sample set of 54 calls made in the last 90 days using our free, web-based phone (see above).

Automatically call when they open

When you use our free AI-powered phone to call and talk, wait on hold, or navigate for you, it will automatically wait until the Frito-Lay, Inc. call center opens before trying to call. It will ask your permission before it places the call, so you can also further delay that scheduled call until you are ready. But that means you can "set it and forget it" ahead of time.
An important note: busy times vs hold times vs best time to call
When we refer to busy or less busy times, we are talking about the volume of calls. The busiest times are when the most people are calling this Frito-Lay, Inc. phone number (least busy times have fewer people calling). This high call volume does not necessarily mean that you will have a long hold time when you call. Companies like Frito-Lay, Inc. staff their call centers differently based on the time of day and day of the week, so you may experience a shorter wait on hold at the busiest of times. When we refer to the best time to call, we are referring to the optimal combination of lower call volume and shorter wait times.

The least busy day to call Frito-Lay, Inc. is Friday. The most busy day to call is Thursday, which averages 150% more phone calls by comparison. Again, this is based on a sample of 54 calls made with our AI-powered, web-based phone in the last 90 days.

Why Customers Call Frito-Lay, Inc.

If you have time to do a bit of reading before you call Frito-Lay, Inc., we recommend you read over some of our problem-specific articles.

Are Frito-Lay products gluten-free?

Yes, some Frito-Lay products are gluten-free. Frito-Lay recognizes the importance of providing gluten-free options to meet the dietary needs of consumers. They have carefully developed and labeled a variety of products that do not contain gluten. Frito-Lay uses specialized production processes and strict measures to prevent cross-contamination with gluten-containing ingredients. However, it is important for individuals with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease to always check the specific product packaging for the gluten-free label or consult the Frito-Lay website for the most up-to-date information. This ensures that consumers can confidently enjoy Frito-Lay snacks while staying within their gluten-free dietary requirements.

Are Frito-Lay chips suitable for vegetarians or vegans?

Yes, Frito-Lay chips are generally suitable for vegetarians. Many of their products, such as Lay's Classic Potato Chips, Cheetos, and Doritos do not contain any meat ingredients. However, some flavors or varieties might include ingredients derived from animals, like dairy or honey, so it is important to check the specific product's ingredient list. Additionally, Frito-Lay offers a wide range of vegan-friendly options. For example, products like Lay's Barbecue Potato Chips, Fritos Original Corn Chips, and Simply Organic Doritos are suitable for both vegetarians and vegans. To ensure suitability, it is recommended to read the ingredient list or look for certified vegan labeling on the packaging.

What is the shelf life of Frito-Lay chips?

The shelf life of Frito-Lay chips varies depending on the specific type and packaging. Generally, our chips have a shelf life of approximately three to four months from the manufacturing date. However, it is important to note that this expiration date is just a guideline for maximum freshness and flavor. With proper storage in a cool and dry place away from direct sunlight, some varieties can still be enjoyed beyond this date. Additionally, chip flavors with low moisture content, such as tortilla chips, tend to have a longer shelf life than those with higher oil or seasoning content. To ensure the best snacking experience, we recommend checking the "Best By" date on the packaging and enjoying our delicious chips before that date.
