A voluntary recall has been issued for Lay’s Classic Potato Chips in the United States after the discovery of undeclared allergens in certain batches. The recall affects thousands of packets distributed across major retail chains.
The Issue
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced that the affected chips might contain traces of milk, an allergen not listed on the packaging. This poses a serious risk for individuals with dairy allergies or lactose intolerance.
Consumer Advice
Consumers who purchased the product are advised to check batch numbers and return them to the store for a full refund. The FDA and Lay’s parent company have assured customers that steps are being taken to rectify the issue and prevent future incidents.
Health Risks
Undeclared allergens can lead to severe allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis, a potentially life-threatening condition. Experts are urging consumers with allergies to remain vigilant and report any adverse reactions to the FDA.
