In a surprising turn of events, the beloved Lay’s Classic Potato Chips have become the center of attention – and not in a good way. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a high-priority recall for certain bags of these popular snacks. Here’s what you need to know to keep your snacking safe.

The Scoop on the Recall

Frito-Lay, the company behind Lay’s, has recalled specific 13-ounce bags of Lay’s Classic Potato Chips. The reason? These chips might contain milk, which isn’t listed on the label. For most people, this isn’t a big deal. But for those with milk allergies, it could be serious – even life-threatening.

Who Needs to Worry?

This recall mainly affects snackers in Oregon and Washington. If you’ve bought Lay’s Classic Potato Chips recently in these states, it’s time to check your pantry.

How to Spot the Affected Chips

Look for these details on your chip bag:

• Size: 13 ounces
• UPC code: 28400 31041
• “Guaranteed Fresh” date: February 11, 2025
• Manufacturing codes: 6462307xx or 6463307xx

If your chips match this description, it’s best not to eat them.

What to Do If You Have These Chips

1. Don’t eat them, especially if you have a milk allergy.
2. Return them to the store for a refund.
3. If you have questions, call Frito-Lay at 1-800-352-4477.

The Bigger Picture

The FDA is taking this seriously, classifying it as a Class I recall. That’s the highest level, reserved for situations where there’s a reasonable chance that eating the product could cause serious health problems.

Stay Calm, But Stay Informed

As of now, no one has reported getting sick from these chips. That’s good news! But it’s still important to be careful. Remember, this recall only affects specific bags of Lay’s Classic Potato Chips. Other Lay’s products are still safe to enjoy.

In the world of snacking, it’s always better to be safe than sorry. So, check those chip bags, spread the word to friends and family in Oregon and Washington, and keep on snacking – just maybe with a different bag of chips for now.

Stay safe and happy snacking, everyone!
