- The FDA has escalated the recall of Lay's Classic Potato Chips to a Class I recall, its highest risk level, indicating the potential for serious health consequences or death.
- Over 6,300 bags of 13-ounce Lay's Classic Potato Chips distributed in Washington and Oregon may contain undeclared milk, posing risks to individuals with milk allergies.
- The affected products were sold starting November 3, 2024, and have a 'guaranteed fresh' date of February 11, 2025, with specific manufacturing codes listed in recall notices.
- Frito-Lay identified the issue during quality checks and removed the affected products from the market in December, working in full cooperation with the FDA.
- Consumers with the recalled chips are urged to discard them immediately and can contact Frito-Lay for further assistance, though no allergic reactions have been reported to date.
