Pirate's Booty

Pirate's Booty

Pirate's Booty is a puffed rice and corn snack food produced by Robert Ehrlich since 1987.[1] B&G Foods acquired Robert's American Gourmet Food in June 2013.[2]

The snack was developed by commodities trader Robert Ehrlich. He would often watch people purchasing cheese puffs in a local supermarket. The snack, Ehrlich explained, did not have "any real cheese in them... most of the ingredients you couldn't even pronounce."[3]

The snack is made with corn meal, rice and cheddar cheese.

Pirate Brands also has a number of other similar snack products, including baked, gluten free milled corn snacks called Smart Puffs, and crunchy corn sticks called Original Tings.[4]

Product recall

On June 29, 2007, Robert's American Gourmet recalled their Veggie Booty brand snack food due to salmonella contamination.[5]

They also recalled other snacks for the same reasons.[6][7]
