Frito-Lay issued a recall Wednesday for some potato chips that might pose a danger for people with allergies to milk.
The voluntary recall is for 31 bags of Wavy Lay's Original Potato Chips, "as they may contain undeclared milk ingredients," the Plano, Texas, company said in a statement.
"Those with an allergy or severe sensitivity to milk run the risk of a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume product contained inside the recalled bags," the statement said.
The 7.75-ounce bags, which were sent to North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia, could have been purchased any time after July 23.
The targeted chips would have either a "Guaranteed Fresh" date of Nov. 2, 2021, with a manufacturing code of 1712 1794485 21:30, or a "Guaranteed Fresh" date of Oct. 19, 2021, with a manufacturing code of 1713 2004418 03:37.
Food and Drug Administration and Frito-Lay officials could not be immediately reached for comment Thursday to explain how the "undeclared milk ingredients" might have made it into the chips and how they were discovered.
"No other Lay's products, flavors, sizes or variety packs are recalled. No allergic reactions related to this matter have been reported to date," the company said.
