Doritos Masa Lump Broke My Son’s Tooth – R60 Voucher Is an Insult

I am absolutely shocked and disappointed. I bought a packet of Doritos Cheese Supreme 145g, and hidden inside was a massive hard masa lump. My young son bit into it and it snapped his tooth. Imagine the pain, the tears, and now the dental bills I can’t afford. He has been left suffering with toothaches as a direct result of this.

When I complained, the company admitted it was indeed a masa lump but brushed it off as “normal” and gave me a R60 voucher – as if replacing a bag of chips makes up for a broken tooth in a child. This feels like an insult to me as a parent.

I expect better from a brand as big as Doritos/PepsiCo. Consumers trust them with their families, and quality control should prevent this from happening. I am not asking for freebies – I am asking for fair compensation for the dental costs caused by THEIR product.

If Doritos can’t cover the cost of a child’s broken tooth, then no parent can trust what’s inside your packets.
