Lay’s Classic potato chips recalled over possible ‘life-threatening allergic reaction’
Share:
The recalled product was sold at stores in Oregon and Washington. Bags of Lay’s Classic Potato Chips have been recalled due to an undeclared ingredient that could cause a “life-threatening allergic reaction.”. This poses the risk of a “serious or life-threatening allergic reaction” for customers who have “an allergy or severe sensitivity to milk.”.
The recalled product was distributed to certain retail stores and distributors in Oregon and Washington, and it was available for purchase as early as November 3, 2024. According to the FDA, no allergic reactions to these chips have been reported. None of the other Lay’s products, flavors, sizes or variety packs are recalled.
Lay’s chip bags that have been recalled must have the “Guaranteed Fresh” date of February 11, 2025. They would also have one of the following manufacturing codes: 6462307xx or 6463307xx. The FDA urges consumers that if they “have an allergy or sensitivity to milk,” they should not eat the bag of potato chips and “discard it immediately.”.
HP Hood LLC, the lactose-free brand’s owner, issued a voluntary recall with the US Food and Drug Administration that recalled five 96-ounce containers “because the product may contain trace amounts of almond.” Almond is not listed on the ingredients label of the dairy-free milk.
At the time, the company initiated the recall of its “Reser’s American Classics Macaroni and Cheese” and “Reser’s American Classics Macaroni and Cheese White Cheddar,” as part of a larger recall of its deli salads and refrigerated products. The recall was issued over concerns that products had become spoiled due to “temperature abuse.”.
