Chips Recalled Due to Allergen Concerns
Frito-Lay has announced a recall of specific 8-ounce bags of Miss Vickie’s Spicy Dill Pickle Potato Chips due to the presence of an undeclared milk allergen. This recall affects products sold in Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas.
The recall was initiated after a customer alerted Frito-Lay about the potential allergen issue. According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), individuals with an allergy or severe sensitivity to milk are at risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reactions if they consume the recalled product.
The affected bags were distributed as early as January 15, 2026, and carry a ‘Guaranteed Fresh’ date of April 21, 2026. The UPC for the recalled bags is 0 28400 761772, and they are identified by the manufacturing codes 38U301414 and 48U101514.
Frito-Lay has confirmed that no allergic reactions related to this recall have been reported to date. The company stated, “Unless a consumer has a dairy allergy or sensitivity to milk, this product is safe to consume.” However, the FDA advises that consumers with milk allergies should not consume the product and should discard it immediately.
It is important to note that no other flavors, sizes, or variety packs of Miss Vickie’s are included in this recall. The FDA issued an alert regarding the recall on March 4, 2026, to inform the public and ensure consumer safety.
As the situation develops, observers are monitoring for any reports of allergic reactions or further information from Frito-Lay and the FDA. Details remain unconfirmed regarding the full extent of the distribution and any additional measures that may be taken in response to this issue.
