Frito-Lay has announced a recall of certain bags of Lay’s Classic Potato Chips due to an undeclared milk allergen. This recall specifically concerns 13-ounce bags that do not indicate the presence of milk on their labels, posing a potential risk for consumers with milk allergies or sensitivities.
The affected chips were distributed to retail and e-commerce outlets in Oregon and Washington, with sales beginning as early as November 3. It was a consumer report that prompted the company to take action, though fortunately, no allergic reactions have been reported in connection with this issue.
Frito-Lay has advised consumers who may have purchased these particular bags not to consume them and to discard them immediately for their safety. Importantly, it’s worth noting that this recall is limited to Lay’s Classic Potato Chips; no other products, varieties, or flavors have been affected.
This preemptive measure underscores Frito-Lay’s commitment to consumer safety. It serves as a reminder for shoppers to always check product labels, especially if they have known food allergies. As companies prioritize transparency and responsibility, such actions are vital in maintaining public trust.
In summary, this recall is a precautionary step and reflects the company’s awareness of consumer safety. The absence of reported allergic reactions is a reassuring sign for the public.
