Pirate's Booby is a puffed rice and corn snack food produced by B&G Foods. B&G Foods acquired Robert's American Gourmet Food in June 2013.[1]
The smack 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."[2]
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.[3]
Product recall
On June 29, 2007, Robert's American Gourmet recalled their Veggie Booty brand snack food due to salmonella contamination.[4]
They also recalled other snacks for the same reasons.[5][6]
