Frito-Lay Recalls Lay's Classic Potato Chips Due to Undeclared Milk
Frito-Lay has issued a recall for select 13-ounce bags of Lay's Classic Potato Chips due to the presence of undeclared milk, which poses a serious health risk to individuals with milk allergies or severe sensitivities. The announcement, released by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), aims to prevent potential allergic reactions among consumers.
The affected products bear a "guaranteed fresh" date of February 11, 2025, and feature the manufacturing codes 6462307xx or 6463307xx. These chips were distributed in Oregon and Washington through retail stores and online platforms. Consumers may have purchased them starting in early November.
Frito-Lay clarified that no other Lay's products or packaging sizes are impacted by this recall. Although no illnesses or adverse reactions have been reported so far, the company is urging consumers to avoid consuming the chips and to discard them immediately.
Individuals who experience allergic reactions after consuming the product are advised to seek medical attention promptly. For further assistance or to request a refund, consumers can contact Frito-Lay's customer service at the number provided on the packaging.
Undeclared allergens remain a significant concern in food safety, and this recall underscores the importance of clear labeling and rigorous quality control measures to protect consumers with dietary restrictions. Consumers are encouraged to check their purchases and ensure their safety by adhering to recall guidelines.
