Lay's potato chips recalled for containing undeclared milk

The ingredient could pose a serious health risk for anyone with allergies

Frito-Lay has issued a voluntary recall of 13-oz bags of Lay’s Classic Potato Chips that were distributed in Oregon and Washington. 

The company was alerted by a consumer that the chips contained milk, which hadn’t been officially declared on the ingredients list or listed anywhere on the bags. This can pose a serious health risk for anyone with a milk allergy.

So far, the affected packages have only been distributed to retail and e-commerce locations in Oregon and Washington State. Consumers should also be mindful that the affected packages could have been purchased as early as November 3, 2024. 

As of now, no allergic reactions or any other adverse health risks have been reported, and no other Lay’s products have been affected.
