The Food and Drug Administration has given the highest risk classification to a recall for Lay’s potato chips. The FDA first announced the recall on Dec. 16 after Frito-Lay said a limited number of 13-ounce bags of Lay’s Classic Potato Chips may contain undeclared milk.

The FDA reclassified the health alert on Monday to a Class 1 recall, which is issued for “a situation in which there is a reasonable probability that the use of, or exposure to, a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death.”

The recall is for 13 oz. Lay’s Classic Potato Chips with UPC code 28400 31041 and a “Guaranteed Fresh” date of 11 FEB 2025 with manufacturing codes 6462307xx or 6463307xx.

“Those with an allergy or severe sensitivity to milk run the risk of a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume the recalled product,” the FDA said. “If consumers have an allergy or sensitivity to milk, they should not consume the product and discard it immediately.”

According to the FDA, the recalled chips were distributed to certain retail stores and e-commerce distributors in Oregon and Washington. Consumers would have been able to purchase these chips as early as November 3, 2024.

No other Lay’s products, flavors, sizes or variety packs are affected by the recall.

Frito-Lay said no allergic reactions have been reported.

The FDA said it reclassified the recall Monday to its highest level because milk is one of eight “major food allergens,” meaning it is one of the products that can lead to mild or life threatening allergic reactions, including hives, rash, swelling, stomach cramps, dizziness, vomiting and/or diarrhea, coughing or wheezing, swollen vocal cords, difficulty breathing and loss of consciousness.

Potato chips are one of the 25 most popular snacks during football games like the Super Bowl, according to mashed.com. An Instacart survey last year similarly found that chips and dips are among the top 20 favorite foods during the big game.

Customers who purchased the affected product can contact Frito-Lay Consumer Relations at 1-800-352-4477 from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. CST, Monday through Friday.
