Frito-Lay recently issued a limited voluntary recall of 7 3/4-oz. bags of Lay’s Lightly Salted Barbecue Flavoured Potato Chips because they may contain undeclared milk ingredients.
People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to milk run the risk of a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume the product contained inside the recalled potato chips bags.
The products covered by this recall were distributed in retail locations in the following states: Arkansas, Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Minnesota, Missouri, Mississippi, Montana, North Dakota, Nebraska, New Mexico, Nevada, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Washington and Wyoming.
The recalled products have both a guaranteed fresh date of August 27, 2019 and a nine-character manufacturing code that includes the number 29 in the second and third position (example: x29xxxxxx) listed below the Guaranteed Fresh date.
These numbers can be found on the right side of the front of the bag. In addition, the recalled bags will also have the UPC code 28400 63242 listed on the bottom left side of the back of the bag.
No other Lay’s or Lay’s Lightly Salted products or flavors were recalled.
The recall was initiated after it was discovered that bags of Lay’s Lightly Salted Barbecue Flavored Potato Chips were inadvertently filled with another flavour of potato chips, potentially exposing consumers to undeclared milk.
No adverse events related to this matter have been reported to date. Frito-Lay has informed the FDA of the action.
Consumers with the product noted above can return the product to a retailer for a refund or contact Frito-Lay Consumer Relations at its toll-free number between 9am and 4:30pm CST between Monday and Friday.
