The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently announced a "limited recall" of one of the most popular sweet potato chips in the US due to undeclared allergens.
The recall affects certain 13-ounce bags of Lay's Classic Potato Chips, according to a Frito-Lay statement published by the FDA on Monday.
According to officials, the bag may contain undeclared milk. Frito-Lay told FOX Business that 6,344 bags were affected by the recall.
"The products included in this recall were distributed to select retail stores and e-commerce distributors in Oregon and Washington," the company explained in a statement. "Consumers will be able to purchase this chip as early as November 3, 2024."

Frito-Lay urges consumers to check their 13-ounce bags of Lay's Classic Potato Chips for a "Guaranteed Fresh" date reading "FEB 11, 2025," and a manufacturing code of either 6462307xx or 6463307xx. Any bag containing such information should be discarded by consumers with a milk allergy.
"Those with severe allergies or sensitivities to milk are at risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reactions if they consume the recalled products," the Frito-Lay statement added.

"No allergic reaction related to this matter has been reported to date," added the statement. "No other Lay's products, flavors, sizes or variety packs are being recalled."
It is not unusual for food distributors to recall products due to undeclared milk allergens. In March, a Pennsylvania-based company withdrew over 1,600 chocolate bars due to negligence.

Last month, over 79,000 pounds Costco Kirkland Signature Butter was withdrawn over concerns about the product's packaging lacking a "contains milk" disclaimer - despite the fact that the product was clearly marketed as butter.
