Pirate's Booty is a puffed corn and rice snack food developed and produced in 1987[1] by Robert Ehrlich.
[2] Ehrlich 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.
[4] The snack is made with corn meal, rice and cheddar cheese.
[5] On June 29, 2007, Robert's American Gourmet recalled their Veggie Booty brand snack food due to salmonella contamination.
