Frito-Lay has recalled one of its most popular potato chips for containing milk that was not declared on the label, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said.
Lay’s Classic Potato Chips, which shoppers may recognize by their familiar fluorescent yellow bag, are being recalled in Oregon and Washington, the FDA said Wednesday. It is not clear where the milk contamination occurred, since the ingredients in the fries are potatoes, vegetable oil and salt.
“People who are allergic or have a severe sensitivity to milk are at risk of suffering a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume the recalled product,” the recall notice stated.
The recalled product is the 13-ounce bag with a guaranteed expiration date of February 11, 2025 and manufacturing codes 6462307xx or 6463307xx.
No allergic reactions have been reported due to the presence of milk, and the company stated that none of its other potato chip flavors have been affected.
Consumers in both states are encouraged to discard the bags and contact Frito-Lay Consumer Relations.
