The FDA Updated Lay's Potato Chip Recall to Its Most Serious Level

The FDA Updated Lay's Potato Chip Recall to Its Most Serious Level

Yahoo31-01-2025
Last month, Frito-Lay issued a recall notice for over 6,000 13-ounce bags of its Lay's Classic Potato Chips because they contained an undeclared milk allergen. On Jan. 27, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) upgraded the recall to Class I status, indicating its highest risk level.Frito-Lay issued the recall after customers alerted the brand that the Party Size Lay's Classic Potato Chips contained milk, but the allergen was not listed on the packaging. The select Lay's may cause severe or life-threatening reactions to those with milk allergies or sensitivities.There have been no allergies or adverse reactions reported to date.
According to the FDA, a Class I recall is "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." It is the most serious classification out of a possible three.
The details of the recall are otherwise unchanged. The impacted chips were sold at select retailers and e-commerce distributors in Oregon and Washington. They were available for purchase as early as Nov. 3 and bear the 'Guaranteed Fresh' date of Feb. 11, 2025.
Additionally, the recalled Classic Potato Chips have the UPC 28400 31041 and both the 'Guaranteed Fresh' date of Feb. 5, 2025, and either Manufacturing Code 6462307xx or 6463307xx.
No other Frito-Lay products or Lay's chips or sizes are affected by this recall.
If you have the recalled chips—and have a milk allergy or sensitivity—you should not consume them. Instead, throw them away or return them to the place of purchase for a refund.
If you don't have a milk allergy or sensitivity, you can still consume the Lay's, as there is nothing inherently unsafe about the chips. Frito-Lay is simply exercising caution by recalling the mislabeled packages.
If you have any questions regarding the recall, you can contact Frito-Lay at 1-800-352-4477, Monday to Friday, from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. CST.

Florida officials warn about risks of raw milk after 21 people sickened

The Florida Department of Health is warning about the risks of drinking raw, unpasteurized milk after 21 people, including six children under the age of 10, were sickened by E. coli and campylobacter bacteria linked to raw milk from the same farm. Seven people have been hospitalized, and two have developed severe complications. "Sanitation practices in this farm are of particular concern due to the number of cases," the department said in a news release. Officials did not identify the farm, but indicated its products were available in Northeast and Central Florida. CBS News has reached out to the health department for more information. Although it is illegal to sell raw milk for human consumption in Florida, it can be sold in the state if it's labeled as a pet food. Raw milk has been promoted by online wellness influencers and raw food advocates, boosting sales in recent years, but public health officials say it can be risky. The Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention say raw milk can carry life-threatening bacteria, such as E. coli, campylobacter, listeria or salmonella. These can cause symptoms including diarrhea, vomiting and stomach cramps. Severe cases can result in a condition called hemolytic uremic syndrome, or HUS, which can lead to kidney failure. Since 1987, 143 outbreaks have been linked to raw milk or raw milk products, some involving miscarriages, stillbirths, kidney failure and even deaths, according to the FDA. Pasteurization — a process of heating the milk — kills these bacteria. Pasteurization is required by federal law for any milk sold across state lines. Some individual states also restrict or ban the sale of raw milk, but others allow it. In an interview with CBS News Miami earlier this year, Mark McAfee, founder of one of the world's largest raw milk producers and head of an advocacy group called the Raw Milk Institute, claimed raw milk offers health benefits such as bioactives that boost the immune system. McAfee sells his raw milk legally in California, where no state law prohibits its sale. But the CDC says such claims are unfounded. "Pasteurized milk offers the same nutritional benefits without the risks of raw milk consumption," the agency says. The Florida Department of Health noted in its statement that "many people consume raw milk safely." But it also advised, "Floridians should be aware of potential risks associated with consumption, which may vary depending on the source of producer's handling of raw milk and milking procedures are vital in prevention of contamination."

FDA Chief Says He Wants Gene Therapy Head Prasad to Return

By and Skylar Woodhouse Save US Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Marty Makary said he's trying to persuade Vinay Prasad, the agency's former head of gene therapy and vaccines, to return to the FDA after his abrupt departure last week. Makary told reporters Monday that media reports suggesting that Prasad was fired after intervention from the White House are 'simply untrue.' He 'didn't want to be a distraction,' Makary said.
