(MENAFN- Live Mint) Frito-Lay has initiated a voluntary recall of a limited number of 13 oz. (368.5 grams) bags of Lay's Classic Potato Chips due to the potential presence of undeclared milk, a significant allergen. The recall was prompted by a consumer report, and while no allergic reactions have been recorded, the company has taken this precautionary step to ensure consumer safety.
The chips were sold in flexible bags and distributed to select retail stores and e-commerce platforms in Oregon and Washington. Consumers may have purchased the product starting November 3, 2024.
The affected bags carry the "Guaranteed Fresh" date of February 11, 2025, along with specific manufacturing codes-6462307xx or 6463307xx. Consumers with a milk allergy or sensitivity are urged to avoid consuming the product and to discard it immediately. Other Lay's products, flavors, and sizes are not impacted by this recall.
Frito-Lay has reported the matter to the FDA and emphasized its commitment to consumer safety.
