The FDA set the highest risk level for the recall of Lay's Classic Potato Chips over concern that the chips contain undeclared milk.The chips were sold in stores and online in Oregon and Washington beginning on Nov.

Federal health authorities have upgraded their recall of 13-ounce bags of Frito-Lay potato chips over fears that consuming the products, which may contain undeclared milk, could potentially be fatal. Last month, the Food and Drug Administration announced that Frito-Lay was voluntarily recalling a limited batch of products.

The FDA first announced on December 18, 2024, that Frito-Lay issued a recall on a “limited number” of the 13 oz bags of chips. These Lay’s Classic Potato Chips bags were recalled because they “may contain undeclared milk ,” which Frito-Lay learned “after being alerted through a consumer contact.”

A party bag of potato chips from Lay's was recalled in December, and has just been given the highest recall classification from the FDA.
