Popular Potato Chip Recall – What Louisiana Snackers Should Know
We are officially into Louisiana's "grazing" season for at least the next two weeks. "Grazing" season is when you attend a holiday party in Shreveport or Monroe or Lafayette or Lake Charles or anywhere for that matter and you stand around the snack table mindlessly eating while carrying on a mindless conversation with friends and family.
For most of us in Louisiana our holiday snack choices include potato chips. It seems as if there are as many varied potato chip flavors and brands as there are people who want to eat them. Not only do you have premium brands like Ruffles and Pringles but you also get the store brand knock-offs like Ridgers, Crinklers, and even Wavy Lay's which is odd considering who the parent company of Ruffles happens to be.
A lot of potato chip consumers in Louisiana are partial to the state's own brand Zapp's. Zapp's chips are a uniquely kettle-fried Louisiana-style chip and that brand features flavors that line up perfectly with the palate of the Louisiana consumer. You'll be pleased to know your Zapp's chips are safe. They are not mentioned in any recall that we are aware of.
The chips that are mentioned in a recall notice from the United States Food Safety Inspection Service are ones we are all familiar with. I think if I say "bright yellow bag" you're going to instantly know I am speaking of Lay's Classic Potato Chip.
Lay's Classic Chips are a product of Texas-based Frito-Lay and the company has voluntarily announced a recall of some of its products that might offered on holiday tables. The product in question is the Classic Chip, that's the yellow bag. The concern is over undeclared milk ingredients.
Ingesting the product for those who have allergies to milk or sensitivities to milk does run the risk of an allergic reaction. And yes, some of the reactions could be life-threatening. The chips have been available to consumers since early November. However, it is believed that the majority of the products were not shipped or shared in Texas or Louisiana.
Still, you can't be safe enough, right? If you or someone in your family has a milk sensitivity or milk allergy and you've purchased Lay's Classic Potato Chips please check the packaging.
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 bags must have the manufacturing code 6462307xx or 6463307xx. A description of the recalled bags is available on the Lays website as well as the FDA website.
No other Lay’s products, flavors, sizes, or variety packs are recalled.
