Lays Crisps recalled: Warning issued over US potato chips that could be life-threatening

Frito-Lay has announced a recall in two states of some snacks because they may contain milk - which can be fatal to people who have an allergy.

The recall has taken effect in Oregon and Washington state, and applies to some 13oz Party Size bags of Lay’s Classic Potato Chips.

The company said it was warned by a consumer about the issue - although no allergic reactions have been reported - and added: “Those with an allergy or severe sensitivity to milk run the risk of a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume the recalled product.”

The chips were available to buy from November 3 from shops and online stores and it only affects the 13oz Classic variety, not any other flavours or pack sizes. The ‘guaranteed fresh’ date on the recalled packets is February 11, 2025.

The manufacturing codes are 6462307xx or 6463307xx
