Frito Lay Bumps Up Recent Recall To "Most Severe" Classification

There's been an update to the latest Frito-Lay chip recall.

Which Frito Lay Chips Are Part of The Latest Recall?

Back in March Frito Lay and PepsiCo announced a recall on a popular brand of Tostito chips.

In a statement Frito-Lay wrote that they had issued a recall "of a limited number of 13 oz. bags of Tostitos Cantina Traditional Yellow Corn Tortilla Chips."

FDA.gov

They explained that the recall was due to the fact that these chips "could include nacho cheese tortilla chips, and therefore may contain undeclared milk."

Consumers who have an allergy or "sensitivity to milk run the risk of a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume the recalled product."

Now, it looks like the FDA has increased the classification of the initial recall.

FDA Increases Recall Classification on Frito-Lay's Latest Recall

According to CBS6 News in Albany, the Food and Drug Administration has recently increased the classification of the recall to Class I.

The report goes on to detail that Class I means that there is a "reasonable probability" that eating the product "will cause serious adverse health consequences or death."

Products affected must have BOTH Guaranteed Fresh Date of May 20th, 2025 and one of the following manufacturing codes where XX is any number from 30 up to 50:

15 Discontinued Snack Chips In 2025

Frito-Lay makes some of the most popular snacks in America, and it seems that every year, they introduce new twists on their top brands that feature unique flavors.

It can be fun to venture out of your comfort zone and try new things and those new things can sometimes become new favorites. However, there is no guarantee that the new snacks will stick around for very long, which can be disappointing.

Sporked recently uncovered 15 snacks that Frito-Lay plans on discontinuing in 2025, and they include some of my favorites. If some of your favorites are on this list, you better stock up if you still see them on store shelves and enjoy them while you can.

Perhaps if fans of snacks being discontinued protest, Frito-Lay will change its mind.
