Lay’s Just Recalled Some of Its Classic Potato Chips

This recall is a must-read for anyone who plans to host a party. Be careful what brand of potato chips you put out for guests because Lay’s has recalled some of its Classic Potato Chips. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reported the recall on December 18 and said the chips may contain undeclared milk.

For most of us, this won’t be an issue. However, people with an allergy or sensitivity to milk run the risk of a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they eat the chips. Fortunately, a consumer noticed the error and contacted Frito-Lay.

This Lay’s potato chip recall affects Classic Potato Chips. The product was distributed to retailers and e-commerce distributors in Oregon and Washington. Frito-Lay didn’t specify which retailers, so it will be slightly more difficult to determine whether you have an affected bag.

The recalled chips are 13-ounce bags of Lay’s Classic Potato Chips. The recalled bags will have a Guaranteed Fresh Date of 11 FEB 2025 on the front of the bag and one of the manufacturing codes listed below:

No other flavors of Lay’s potato chips are involved in this recall.

What should I do next?

Toss out the mislabeled chips if you have an allergy or sensitivity to milk. If you don’t have a milk allergy or sensitivity, then the Lay’s potato chips are perfectly safe to eat.
