Frito-Lay issued a “limited” remind of its Lay’s Classic Potato Chips over an undeclared allergen.

The recall, which involves 13-ounce bags of the popular chips, was published by the US Food and Drug Administration on December 18. According to officials, the bags may contain black milk after the company was alerted through a consumer contact.

Frito-Lay said 6,344 bags are part of the recall.

“The product included in this recall was distributed to certain retail stores and e-commerce distributors in Oregon and Washington,” the company explained in a statement. “Consumers would have been able to buy these chips as early as November 3, 2024.”

Frito-Lay is urging consumers to check their 13-ounce Lay’s Classic Potato Chips bags for a “Guaranteed Fresh” date that reads “FEB 11, 2025,” and a manufacturing code of either 6462307xx or 6463307xx. The bags have a UPC code of 28400 31041.

All bags with this information should be discarded by consumers with milk allergies.

“Those with allergies or severe sensitivities to milk are at risk of a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume the recalled product,” Frito-Lay’s statement added.

No allergic reactions have been reported to date, and no other Lay’s products, flavors, sizes or different packages were recalled, the FDA statement said.

Last month, over 79,000 pounds of Costco Kirkland Signature butter were recalled over concerns that the products’ packaging lacked a “contains milk” disclaimer — despite the products being clearly marketed as butter.
