Lay’s potato chip recall elevated to FDA’s highest-risk classification
The FDA has upgraded a recall of Lay’s Potato Chips to the highest level possible, meaning consuming the chips will cause adverse health consequences.
In December, Texas-based food manufacturer Frito Lay recalled a limited number of Lay’s Classic 13oz because the product could contain undeclared milk ingredients.
“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 alert said.
On January 27, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration classified the recall as “Class I,” the most severe risk level.
According to the FDA, “Class I” level recalls are used in situations where there is a “reasonable probability that the use of or exposure to a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death.”
The recalled 13 oz. bags of Lay’s Classic Potato Chips will have a “Guaranteed Fresh Date” of Feb. 11, 2025 on the front of the bag and UPC number 28400 31041. The recalled chips were only sold in Washington and Oregon, reports USA TODAY.
The popular snack brand Lay’s has been hit with a major setback as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has elevated its recent potato chip recall to the highest-risk classification.
The recall was initially issued due to concerns of possible salmonella contamination in certain batches of Lay’s potato chips. However, after further investigation, the FDA has determined that the potential health risks associated with the affected products are severe enough to warrant this serious classification.
Consumers are advised to immediately stop consuming any Lay’s potato chips that fall under the recall and to return them to the store where they were purchased for a full refund. The FDA is urging people to be vigilant and to check any Lay’s products they have at home to ensure they are not part of the affected batches.
This latest development serves as a stark reminder of the importance of food safety and the potential dangers that can arise when proper protocols are not followed. It also underscores the critical role that regulatory agencies like the FDA play in protecting public health.
Stay tuned for further updates on this developing situation as more information becomes available. In the meantime, it is crucial to take the necessary precautions to ensure the safety of yourself and your loved ones.
