Popular Chips Recalled – What Louisiana Consumers Need to Know

Here in Louisiana, we are getting ready for a wet start to a busy weekend. In Lafayette, there is Ragin Cajun Baseball, Family Adventure Day, and a host of other activities. Baton Rouge will feature LSU and Mississippi State in baseball if Mother Nature cooperates.

And from Natchitoches to New Orleans a lot of us in Louisiana will not even give the weather a second glance as we continue watching the games of the Men's and Women's NCAA Basketball tournament.

But if one item is consistent with all of those activities and an important part of our sandwich combo meal, it would have to be the chips. We do love our chips in Louisiana and when you mention chips here in "The Boot" most of our thoughts slide toward Zapp's a brand with strong Louisiana ties.

Let me assure you now, you're Zapp's chips are just fine. They are not the subject of any recall we are aware of. However, there is another brand of chips also with close ties to Louisiana that you need to be mindful of until the details of a "self-imposed and limited" recall have been settled.

Perhaps the biggest name in corn chips and potato chips in the world is the conglomerate known as Frito Lay. The folks at Frito Lay, who are actually under the Pepsico umbrella, bring us many of our favorite brands of snack chips. They are also sticklers for quality and food safety.

That's why Frito Lay has issued a recall on certain 13-ounce bags of Tostitos Cantina Traditional Yellow Corn Tortilla Chips. The reason for the recall is the potential of an undisclosed allergen. Frito Lay believes that some of the Tostitos bags could include nacho cheese, a potential milk allergen, which is not disclosed on the product packaging.

The products in question could have been purchased as early as March 7, 2025, and all feature a "guaranteed fresh" date of May 20, 2025. The chips were distributed to several states in the Gulf South. As of this report, there have been no reports of allergic reactions related to the recall.

If you find that you have some of the recalled products in your home. You may visit this Frito Lay link for refund or replacement information.
