Frito-Lay has initiated a voluntary recall of Miss Vickie’s Spicy Dill Pickle Potato Chips due to the presence of undeclared milk. The U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) warns that this could trigger serious or life-threatening allergic reactions in individuals with dairy allergies.
The recall affects only the 8 oz. bags of Spicy Dill Pickle and jalapeño-flavored chips sold in six states. No other Miss Vickie’s products are involved in this recall, which was prompted after a consumer complaint alerted the company.
The affected chips were distributed in Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas beginning January 15. Frito-Lay advises consumers who have dairy allergies or milk sensitivities to avoid consuming these chips and to contact the company directly.
Product Identification Details
Consumers can identify the recalled products by the following attributes:
- A "Guaranteed Fresh" date of April 21 printed on the bag front
- Manufacturing codes 38U301414 or 48U101514 displayed on the front
- UPC number 0 28400 76177 2 located on the back of the bag
These details are critical for consumers to ensure they check their products accurately against the recall notice.
Frito-Lay emphasized that individuals without dairy allergies or sensitivities can safely consume these products. However, the company urges those affected to take caution and return or dispose of the chips as needed.
Consumers seeking further information or assistance are encouraged to contact Frito-Lay’s consumer relations department. Prompt action helps protect public health and minimizes risks associated with undeclared allergens in food products.
