Preview
The FDA upgraded the recall of Lay's Classic Potato Chips to the highest risk level, Class 1, due to the potential presence of undeclared milk, a known allergen. This upgrade was made on January 27, 2025, following a consumer report that alerted Frito-Lay to the issue. The recall initially began on December 16, 2024, when Frito-Lay identified that a limited number of 13-ounce bags of Lay's Classic Potato Chips might contain undeclared milk.

The Class 1 recall classification indicates that the use of or exposure to the recalled product could cause serious adverse health consequences or death. This is particularly concerning for individuals with milk allergies or sensitivities, who could experience severe allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis, a life-threatening condition.
