The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently announced a “limited recall” of one of the most popular french fries in the US due to an undeclared allergen.
The recall affects certain 13-ounce bags of Lay’s Classic Potato Chips, according to a Frito-Lay statement released by the FDA on Monday.
According to officials, the bags may contain undeclared milk. Frito-Lay told FOX Business that 6,344 bags are affected by the recall.
“The product included in this recall was distributed to certain retail stores and e-commerce distributors in Oregon and Washington,” the company explained in a statement. “Consumers would have been able to buy these chips on November 3, 2024.”

Frito-Lay urges consumers to check their 13-ounce bags of Lay’s Classic potato chips for a “Guaranteed Fresh” date that reads “FEB 11, 2025” and a manufacturing code of 6462307xx or 6463307xx. Any bag with this information should be rejected by consumers with milk allergies.
“People with a severe milk allergy or sensitivity are at risk of a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume the recalled product,” Frito-Lay added.
