Bags of Lay’s Classic Potato Chips have been recalled due to an undeclared ingredient that could cause a “life-threatening allergic reaction.”
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced on Wednesday (December 18) that Frito-Lay issued a recall on a “limited number” of the 13. oz bags of chips. These Lay’s Classic Potato Chips bags were recalled because they “may contain undeclared milk ,” which Frito-Lay learned “after being alerted through a consumer contact.”
This poses the risk of a “serious or life-threatening allergic reaction” for customers who have “an allergy or severe sensitivity to milk.”
The recalled product was distributed to certain retail stores and distributors in Oregon and Washington, and it was available for purchase as early as November 3, 2024.
According to the FDA, no allergic reactions to these chips have been reported. None of the other Lay’s products, flavors, sizes or variety packs are recalled.
Lay’s chip bags that have been recalled must have the “Guaranteed Fresh” date of February 11, 2025. They would also have one of the following manufacturing codes: 6462307xx or 6463307xx.
