Pirate's Booty 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.
The snack 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."
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.
Product recall
On June 29, 2007, Robert's American Gourmet recalled their Veggie Booty brand snack food due to salmonella contamination.
They also recalled other snacks for the same reasons.
