The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has updated a recall of Lay's potato chips across Oregon and Washington and labeled the affected product with its highest risk level. According to the FDA, the recall was initiated on December 13, 2024, and the risk level was assessed as a "Class I" alert on January 27, 2025. The reason for the recall is the potential undeclared presence of milk, a known allergen, in the affected products.
The voluntary recall was announced by the Frito-Lay company in December. According to the agency's website, the FDA assigns Class I designation to recall situations in which there is "reasonable probability that the use of, or exposure to, a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death." In this case, anyone with a milk allergy or sensitivity should avoid consuming the affected chips.
Per the FDA's enforcement report, 6,344 bags of Lay's Classic Potato Chips were recalled. Those affected had both a Guaranteed Fresh date of February 11, 2025 and a manufacturing code of either 6462307xx or 6463307xx. In a December 16, 2024 press release, Frito-Lay clarified that no allergic reactions related to the recall had been reported.

Seriously, this is second recall today for unlabeled milk products. That was the issue in the California chocolate recall. I suspect the issue is the machinery was previously processing milk products and there is concern of cross-contamination.
But a potato chip making machine was previously processing milk products? Do they make "Milk Flavored Potato Chips"?
A "Guaranteed Fresh date of February 11, 2025"? I hope those food inspectors don't come prowling through my food cabinet! I just found some Sesame Sticks with a Guaranteed Fresh date of February 2022. They tasted terrible and I threw them out.
I don’t ever recall hearing of an FDA “Level One” alert during the previous Administration.
What gives?
Send me your potato chips y’all!
I am not allergic to milk! 😁
They found food in the food supply. Better nip that in the bud.
Strange thing to get recalled.
I actually don’t eat them because I avoid salt.
I saw a few hundred thousand pounds of oatmeal rejected into animal feed because the warehouse had milk products in the warehouse racking above the oatmeal totes, @2,000 pounds each. This crap happens every day in the food manufacturing business.
God bless our salty snacks.
Allergens. Milk, peanuts...probably some big settlements possible if they don’t make every effort to inform and recall.
They quickly remooved them from the shelves, because you can't eat just one.
that bites...
This time of year you might expect to see some leftover Pumpkin Spice residue in various food products, but milk? Holy Cow says Harry Carey.
“The reason for the recall is the potential undeclared presence of milk, a known allergen, in the affected products.”
It’s their DECLARED presence of seed oils that should get them off the shelves and I’m convinced that RFK will get that done, whether or not he’s confirmed.
Good o'l lard keeps the longest, even without nitrogen flushing the bags when filled and sealed.
I make my own potato chips, crackers, breads, and such. If you need to offer up penance, make yourself a batch of crackers. I've never put so much time and work into a food seemingly so trivial. It's well worth the effort though, especially when your guests ask about where to buy such incredible tasting crackers?
Why is there milk in potato chips? Are they being made differently or in different facilities now than before?
Is there a new labeling regulation kicking in?
With the chocolate recall today, this all seems very weird.
(Saltines) not saltiness.
Totally ridiculous.
Overreach.
“They quickly remooved them from the shelves, because you can’t eat just one.”
You’re confused, that’s Laura.
A little bit of undeclared milk. Clearly a lethal threat. It’s unreal the way fear drives our society.
It’s the flavoring coating blends undeclared. An example is the plain chips must be produced at the start of the run, then the sour cream and chives, ranch, barbecue, chips. It’s about scheduling. No sanitation and allergen wash needs to be done going from plain and then to flavored chips. The other way around is a violation of USDA rules. An allergen wash takes about 12 hours of downtime, then allergen trace testing on the machinery. It’s no small process hitch.
The issue seems to be that it’s an unlabeled presence of milk. Maybe the regular potato chips got mixed up with the sour cream and onion chips.
