The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently announced a “limited recall” of one of the most popular potato chips in the US due to an undeclared allergen.
The recall affects certain 13-ounce bags of Lay’s Classic potato chips, according to a statement from Frito-Lay released by the FDA on Monday.
According to officials, the bags may contain undeclared milk. Frito-Lay told FOX Business that the recall affects 6,344 bags.
“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 purchase these chips as early as November 3, 2024.”

Frito-Lay urges consumers to check their 13-ounce bags of Lay’s Classic potato chips for a “guaranteed freshness” date that says “February 11, 2025” and a manufacturing code of 6462307xx or 6463307xx. Consumers with milk allergies should throw away any bags containing that information.
“Those with a severe milk allergy or sensitivity are at risk of suffering a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume the recalled product,” Frito-Lay’s statement added.

It is not uncommon for a food distributor to recall a product due to undeclared dairy allergens. In March, a Pennsylvania-based company recalled more than 1,600 chocolate bars due to an oversight.
