Consumers in Washington and Oregon are begin cautioned about Lays potato chips if they have a severe milk allergy - Image via FDA

The chips contain milk, an allergen not declared on the label

A December recall of Lays potato chips has been upgraded to Class I, the most severe threat level because the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said the chips contain an undeclared allergen – milk.

The products were distributed in only two states – Washington and Oregon – but with the Super Bowl just days away the FDA issued the extra warning, saying the chips could prove fatal to someone with a severe milk allergy.

The recalled product is in a flexible bag, and the specific information is listed below:
