Pirate's Booty is a puffed corn and rice snack food developed and produced in 1987[1] by Robert Ehrlich. B&G Foods acquired Robert's American Gourmet Food in June 2013.[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."[3] Ehrlich then went on to found a snack brand called Vegan Rob's, which makes cheese puffs with no cheese in them.[4]
The snack is made with corn meal, rice and cheddar cheese.
Pirate Brands is owned and operated by Amplify Snack Brands, a Hershey company.[5]
Product recall
On June 29, 2007, Robert's American Gourmet recalled their Veggie Booty brand snack food due to salmonella contamination.[6]
