The Food and Drug Administration has issued a Class 1 alert after Frito-Lay issued a recall for bags of Lay’s potato chips sold in Oregon and Washington.
The Food and Drug Administration has newly classified the December recall of some Lay’s Classic Potato Chips sold in Oregon and Washington with the designation reserved for the highest degree of health hazard.
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.”
