Frito-Lay Recalls Classic Chips – Are Louisiana Consumers Affected?

LAFAYETTE, La. (KPEL News) - Frito-Lay has issued a limited recall for certain bags of Lay’s Classic Potato Chips due to undeclared milk allergens, creating potential risks for consumers with milk allergies.

Although the affected products were distributed in Oregon and Washington, this news holds significant importance for Louisiana shoppers who often purchase Lay’s chips and rely on allergen transparency.

Why This Matters to Louisiana

While the recall is geographically limited, Louisiana consumers who order snacks through e-commerce platforms may have inadvertently received these products.

For those with milk allergies, consuming the affected chips could lead to severe or life-threatening reactions. This serves as a reminder for local consumers to remain vigilant about food safety alerts.

Details of the Recall

According to Frito-Lay, the recall involves 13 oz. bags of Lay’s Classic Potato Chips with a “Guaranteed Fresh” date of February 11, 2025 and specific manufacturing codes starting with 6462307xx or 6463307xx. These bags may contain traces of milk due to a labeling oversight.

No other flavors, sizes, or Lay’s products are affected by this recall.

What Should Louisiana Shoppers Do?

1. Check Your Pantry: If you have Lay’s Classic Potato Chips with the specified date and code, discard them immediately if you or a family member has a milk allergy.
