Frito-Lay is voluntarily recalling a small number of Tostitos tortilla chips due to the possible presence of an undeclared milk allergen, the company announced.
The recall involves fewer than 1,300 bags of 13-ounce Tostitos Cantina Traditional Yellow Corn tortilla chips sold across 13 states.
In a news release on Wednesday, Frito-Lay stated that some bags might contain nacho cheese tortilla chips, which could lead to the presence of an undeclared milk allergen.
“People with a milk allergy or severe sensitivity could face a serious or life-threatening reaction if they eat the recalled chips,” the company warned.
The affected chips were sold in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, Ohio, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia.
Consumers may have bought them starting March 7, and all affected bags have a “guaranteed fresh” date of May 20.
This marks the second Frito-Lay recall this year. In January, the company recalled some Lay’s Classic potato chips sold in Oregon and Washington due to undeclared milk, according to FOX Business.
Frito-Lay confirmed that no allergic reactions related to the Tostitos chips have been reported so far.
“Unless a consumer has a dairy allergy or sensitivity to milk, the product is safe to eat,” the company said.
Frito-Lay, based in Plano, Texas, is a subsidiary of PepsiCo.
