Is Tostitos Medium Salsa GERD Friendly?

Medium-heat salsa offers a tangy, mildly spicy flavor with a slightly chunky, scoopable texture; reviewers frequently note good chip-and-dip performance, usefulness as a topping for tacos and nachos, and consistent jar-to-jar quality, though some customers report varied perceptions of spice level and thickness. Packaging is also convenient for casual gatherings.

citric acid
Dietitian noteCitric acid, a common food additive, is a known GERD trigger due to its high acidity, which can directly irritate the esophagus. It can also weaken the lower esophageal sphincter, allowing stomach acid to flow back up and cause heartburn. Furthermore, even small amounts of citric acid can significantly increase stomach acid production, worsening reflux symptoms.
