(Gray News) – Federal regulators have upgraded a recall of Lay’s Classic Potato Chips to the highest risk level.

The chips were first recalled in December 2024 due to undeclared milk ingredients, posing a risk of a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction.

The Food and Drug Administration upgraded the recall Monday as a “Class I,” the most severe risk level, according to several reports.

The recall only includes 6,344 (13-ounce) bags of Lay’s Classic Potato Chips.

According to a press release by the FDA, the batch was distributed in Oregon and Washington and customers were able to buy the snacks starting Nov. 3, 2024.

No other Frito-Lay products are involved in the recall.

The FDA defines a “Class I” recall as “a situation in which there is a reasonable probability that the use of or exposure to a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death.”
