Lay’s Classic Potato Chips Recall Details

The Plano, Texas-based food manufacturer announced in a statement this week that was also shared at the US Food and Drug Administration websitethat it had recalled “a limited number of 13 oz. bags of Lay’s Classic Potato Chips that may contain black milk after being alerted through a consumer contact.”

“Those with an allergy or severe sensitivity to milk are at risk of a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume the product contained in the recalled bags,” the company said.

The products covered by this recall were distributed to “retail stores and e-commerce distributors in Oregon and Washington,” according to Frito-Lay, and consumers “would have been able to purchase these chips as early as November 3, 2024.”
