Frito-Lay recall: What to know about the Tostitos tortilla chips pulled from shelves
A small batch of Frito-Lay chips was recalled in late March over an undeclared allergen.
The American food company issued a voluntary recall last month for about 1,300 bags of Tostitos Cantina Traditional Yellow Corn Tortilla Chips that may contain undeclared milk.
The 13-ounce bags in question may include nacho cheese tortilla chips, which could cause serious or life-threatening allergic reactions to those with high milk sensitivity. No allergic reactions related to this recall have been reported to date.
The recalled products were distributed to retailers and online vendors across 13 states, including Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Virginia, West Virginia, Indiana, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, Ohio, South Carolina and Tennessee. People would have been able to buy the recalled chips as early as March 7, 2025, according to the company.
Frito-Lay told USA TODAY on March 26 that the voluntary recall does not impact any other Tostitos products.
"Consumers can view the full press release on the Frito-Lay Contact Us page to see if their product is impacted by this recall," Frito-Lay said in a statement. "Unless a consumer has a dairy allergy or sensitivity to milk, this product is safe to consume."

A company spokesperson also said on Wednesday that the recalled chips should no longer be on shelves at this point.

Frito-Lay recalled over 6,000 classic potato chips last year
Frito-Lay issued a recall in December of more than 6,300 bags of Lay's Classic Potato Chips due to them possibly containing undeclared milk, thus posing a risk of a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration classified the recall as "Class I," earlier this year, which is the most severe risk level as there was a "reasonable probability that the use of, or exposure to, a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death."
The batch of chips was distributed in Washington and Oregon and was available for purchase as soon as Nov. 3, 2024, according to the alert.

NYC expands school cellphone ban to include smartwatches, tablets
New York City Public Schools, the nation's largest school district, is expanding its student cellphone ban to include any "internet-enabled" devices such as tablets and smartwatches. The new change will go into effect this upcoming 2025-26 school year across all 1,600 public schools in New York City. New York Gov. Kathy Hochul announced in January a statewide student cellphone ban policy in schools, saying it would help students concentrate on academics and reduce distractions and mental health pressures. New York City Public Schools' latest policy update adds to Hochul's statewide mandate. A few exceptions are being allowed under the expanded rule. Students will be able to use any of their "internet-enabled" devices while commuting to and from school but are required to shut them down during the school day. Students who require devices for medical reasons, instructional purposes or who have one as part of their Individual Education Program can be exempted from the policy. Schools are also required to offer at least one way for families to contact students during the school day in the event of an emergency, offer a "secure way" to store devices when not in use, and keep families informed annually on the school policy. "We know that excessive cell phone use is harmful to our children's concentration and mental health, and, with this new policy, we will finally reduce distractions as we help our students reach their full potential," New York City Mayor Eric Adams said in part in a statement released Wednesday. New York City Public Schools Chancellor Melissa Aviles-Ramos said in a separate statement that she is "proud" to introduce the expansion, which is "designed to be responsive to the diverse needs of schools, individual students, and families." "As an educator and a parent, I have seen firsthand how constant access to cell phones in the classroom distracts from learning, divides attention, and significantly impacts our students' mental health, inside schools and at home," said Aviles-Ramos. "I am proud to be introducing a policy that takes input from unions and advocacy groups, families, community members, and our students into account." New York City Public Schools' cellphone ban expansion takes the recent wave of student cellphone bans a step further, as districts in multiple states, including California, Florida, Ohio, and Virginia, have already introduced student phone use limitations. The policy changes follow growing concerns about the mental health impact of smartphone and social media use in young children and teenagers. According to a June Pew Research Center survey, 74% of American adults support a cellphone ban for middle school and high school students, an increase from 68% in 2024. Some early studies abroad found that cellphone bans can improve student performance, their mental health and may even cut down on bullying, but more research is needed to see if the same is true closer to home.

Endocrinologists Are Begging People With High A1C Levels To Stop Doing This One Thing ASAP
Endocrinologists Are Begging People With High A1C Levels To Stop Doing This One Thing ASAP originally appeared on Parade. More than than one in 10 American adults has some form of diabetes and, of those, up to 95% have type 2 diabetes. Having this condition means needing to be on top of your glucose levels, including your A1C levels, an average measure of your blood sugar over two to three months. High A1C levels usually mean you have diabetes, but it can also be a marker of prediabetes, a condition in which your blood sugar is elevated but not quite high enough for a type 2 diabetes diagnosis, according to the American Diabetes Association (ADA).Why does this matter? Having high A1C indicates that your body isn't using blood sugar properly. 'The goal function of the body is to place sugar from the food into cells to nourish,' explains , endocrinologist and assistant professor of medicine at GW Medical Faculty Associates. 'Failure of this process is when sugar from food is absorbed into the blood, but cannot move into cells either due to insulin resistance or deficiency.' When that consistently happens, you could be at risk of developing organ damage to your kidneys, eyes, heart and nerves, Dr. Baldwin says. If you have elevated A1C levels or have already been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, it's best to aim for an A1C that's less than 7%, per the ADA. (If your A1C level lands between 5.7% and 6.5%, you're considered to have prediabetes.)Related: 'Maintaining a healthy A1C indicates that your blood sugar is not high and that greatly reduces the risk of long-term complications,' says , chief of the division of endocrinology at Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical 2 diabetes is a complicated condition, and it's hard to say that doing any one thing will help your A1C levels come back down. But endocrinologists stress that certain lifestyle factors are crucial with blood sugar control, even if you're on medication. While endocrinologists say it's important to tackle blood sugar control from a variety of angles, there's one habit they repeatedly encourage their patients with high A1C to break.🩺SIGN UP for tips to stay healthy & fit with the top moves, clean eats, health trends & more delivered right to your inbox twice a week💊 The No. 1 Habit Endocrinologists Want People With High A1C To Break ASAP Endocrinologists recommend that people with high A1C rethink how much fast food they eat. 'Fast food typically contains ultra-processed foods that can be toxic to beta cells—cells in the pancreas that produce insulin,' Dr. Baldwin says. (In case you're not familiar with it, insulin is a hormone that helps sugar enter cells, where it's used for energy.)While there is a range with fast food, she points out that foods in this category tend to be high in simple carbohydrates. These carbs 'can be rapidly metabolized into sugar, compounding the problem.' When you eat a lot of simple carbs, it can cause your blood sugar to spike and then crash, making symptoms of type 2 diabetes—and your A1C levels—worse, Dr. Buettner says. Related: Fast foods also tend to be high in saturated fat, which can worsen your body's ability to use insulin properly, according to Dr. Buettner. It's also often low in fiber (a nutrient that lowers blood sugar), and high in calories, raising the odds of weight gain and worsening blood glucose control, he explains, adding, 'These factors make it harder to manage blood sugar and maintain or lower your A1C."Things that tend to go along with fast food can also be problematic for blood sugar management, points out , endocrinologist and obesity medicine specialist at NYU Langone Health. 'Fast food is frequently consumed alongside sugar-sweetened beverages like soda, compounding the glycemic impact,' she says. Even if fast food isn't a consistent thing for you, Dr. Baldwin suggests being mindful of ultra-processed foods. These are foods that are altered from their usual state and have added ingredients like artificial colors and flavors, along with preservatives for shelf stability and ingredients to preserve texture. (Ultra-processed foods usually come in a package.)Related:Cardiologists Are Begging People With High Cholesterol to Stop Doing This One Thing ASAP Foods To Focus on Instead There's no one diet that's going to be "perfect" for every single person with Type 2 diabetes. But the ADA has certain guidelines to help you make choices to support better blood sugar management in the future. 1. Opt for non-starchy vegetables This should be the foundation of your plate. These vegetables, which include broccoli, cauliflower and spinach, are a good choice because they help fill you up without delivering as many calories and carbs as starchier foods. 2. Eat plenty of protein Protein is a macronutrient that can help fill you up and support muscle growth. The recommended daily allowance (RDA) of protein is 0.8 grams per kilogram per day for people aged 18 and up, which translates to about 30 to 35 grams of protein per meal for most people. If you eat a plant-based diet, the ADA recommends focusing on beans, hummus, and lentils. Just be aware that these foods have carbs, which may impact your blood 3. Try to limit carbs when you can Dr. Buettner suggests being mindful of how many carbs you're eating. 'Do not eat a lot of carbs as they get broken down to glucose in your body and raise blood sugar,' he says. 4. Enjoy fruit too Fruits count as carbohydrates, but they're different from, say, having white bread thanks to their vitamin, minerals and fiber content. 5. Mix in healthy fats Healthy fats, which include monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, can help regulate blood sugar and protect your heart. The ADA suggests focusing on olive oil, nuts, avocados and certain types of fish. 6. Load up on nutrient-dense food Foods with high nutritional value support good blood sugar management while giving you the vitamins and minerals you need for good health. The ADA suggests looking for foods that have a good mix of protein, healthy fats, vitamins, minerals and fiber. 7. Hydrate responsibly Water and zero-calorie drinks are a better choice for blood sugar management than options that contain added sugar, per the the ADA recommends using the "diabetes plate" strategy. This is designed to be a jumping-off point for creating healthy meals. With this strategy, take a nine-inch plate and fill half of it with non-starchy vegetables (think: broccoli, spinach, asparagus). From there, have lean proteins fill one-quarter of your plate. The other one-quarter should focus on quality carbs like starchy vegetables, fruits, low-fat dairy products or whole grains.'Portion control and consistent meal timing help reduce glucose variability throughout the day,' says Dr. Jaisinghani. Focusing on good hydration, quality sleep and doing what you can to manage stress levels is also important, she adds. Of course, if you know you have high A1C levels and you've done all of this, it's important to talk to your healthcare provider. They should be able to look at your current management strategy and provide personalized advice from there. Up Next:Sources: Type 2 Diabetes.
