FDA Elevates Lay’s Potato Chips Recall to Class I Risk Level

Frito-Lay's recall of 6,344 bags of chips in Oregon and Washington warns of undeclared milk posing life-threatening risks to those with allergies.

The FDA has classified the recall of Lay’s Classic Potato Chips as a Class I recall, indicating a 'reasonable probability' of serious health consequences or death.
The recall affects 13-ounce bags of Lay’s Classic Potato Chips distributed in Oregon and Washington with a 'Guaranteed Fresh' date of February 11, 2025, and specific manufacturing codes.
The chips were recalled due to undeclared milk, a major allergen, which could trigger severe allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis, in sensitive individuals.
Frito-Lay initiated the voluntary recall on December 16, 2024, after being alerted by a customer, and confirmed that no allergic reactions have been reported so far.
Consumers are advised to discard affected bags immediately and contact Frito-Lay Consumer Relations for further information or refunds.
