In January 2026, many of us will take part in the 30-Day Label Coach4aday Challenge. Each day we will share a label from a food product and share info about one of the ingredients. The goal is simple—read food labels, research unfamiliar ingredients, and become more intentional about what you’re putting into your body, building awareness that can lead to healthier, more mindful eating. Today my post is on FRITOS and the additives that has it connected to starting a campfire.

Many people know that if you need something to start a campfire that Fritos Corn Chips can be utilized. The reason the chips are combustible is because of their high oil (fat) content, which comes from being deep-fried in vegetable oil.

Label-30 Day Challenge Guidelines

As with previous challenges, participants are encouraged to adapt the guidelines to fit their own circumstances. If you can, commit to sharing an ingredient from a food label during the month of January.

1. Locate a label on a food product and research an ingredient you might not be familiar with.  
2. Share with a challenge partner if you have one what that ingredient is.
3. Join the conversation by posting on social media with the hashtag #Coach4adayChallenge

January 22nd-Fritos

To use Fritos to start a campfire, place one or two chips under your kindling where you would normally put tinder. Light the edge of the chip with a match or lighter, and it will burn steadily due to its oil content. Once the kindling catches, gradually add larger pieces of wood to build the fire safely.
