The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) says a previously announced recall of certain bags of Lay’s potato chips in Oregon and Washington now falls into “Class I” status, its highest risk level.
The FDA’s update means the agency found “reasonable probability that the use of, or exposure to, a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death.”
Frito-Lay issued a recall of a limited number of 13-ounce bags of Lay’s Classic Potato Chips in December due to undeclared milk in the product, after being alerted through a consumer contact.
The original recall announcement said, “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.”
Bags of the chips were distributed to certain retail stores and e-commerce companies in Oregon and Washington, with available purchases being made as early as Nov. 3.
Frito-Lay is urging individuals who have purchased the recalled chips to discard the product immediately and contact their consumer relations department with any additional concerns.
The bags had a freshness date of Feb. 11.

They put POTATOES in Potato Chips? Who knew?
I’m glad they’re making people aware who are allergic to milk. In the potato chips. WHUT?
