What The Frito-Lay Recall Means

This is not the first recall in recent months related to undeclared allergens. Also in January, Quaker recalled boxes of its pancake and waffle mix due to potential milk allergens, and Paras Golden Raisins were recalled over undeclared sulfites, a chemical compound that can cause allergic reactions.

Milk is one of the nine “major food allergens” identified by the FDA, which companies are required to clearly label on their products, in accordance with the Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act (FALCPA). Symptoms of food allergies can include hives, cramps, facial swelling, difficulty breathing, and even loss of consciousness.

Only the specified 13-ounce bags of Lay’s Classic Potato Chips have been recalled; other Lay’s products are unaffected. Customers who suspect they have been affected should check their products for the stated date and manufacturing code, and dispose immediately of any contaminated bags. They can also contact Frito-Lay Consumer Relations at 800-352-4477 between the hours of 9 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. CST, Monday through Friday.
