PepsiCo is launching new versions of Doritos and Cheetos with the same great flavor, but designed to eliminate those telltale orange (or cheesy!) finger stains that fans either enjoy or dislike.

Simply NKD now offers clear versions of popular Cheetos flavors like Nacho Cheese, Cool Ranch, Cheetos Puffs, and Flamin’ Hot—and they won’t leave your fingers covered in red dust!

PepsiCo is releasing a new version of its popular chips, made without any artificial flavors or colors. The company promises this new option will still have the same bold taste as the original, just without the added coloring.
