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.

20 Foods Americans Say Should Never Be Banned
Everyone has a favorite food, but some people have a food they love so intensely that they'd start a revolution if it were ever banned, and with Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s continuous crackdowns on the nation's food supply, the possibility seems ever more realistic. I was curious about what foods people could never give up, so I asked Tasty readers about the snacks that would make them march the streets in protest if they were ever banned. Let's just say there were some very passionate answers. Here are 20 different foods that would surely cause people to revolt if they were forbidden, as told by their most loyal fans: "Lay's potato chips are my life. The crunchy yet thin chip and the salty goodness are so amazing that no other chip can compete. If it were banned, I think I would just cry. It's my favorite snack and is a staple in my house." —Esti, 25, New York "Krispy Kreme donuts!" "Oreos. You can pry my black-and-white circles of deliciousness from my cold, dead hands." —Sonia, 25, Massachusetts "The BUILT Puff Protein Bars are my favorite snack, and it's like eating a giant chocolate-coated marshmallow. If the FDA banned them, I would literally petition and protest all I could in front of them until I could eat them and buy them again." "Smartfood White Cheddar Popcorn. It was a big staple of my childhood, and I would hate to see it go." —Matilda, 25, Oregon "Bacon. Specifically, American-style bacon (I like Canadian bacon, but I could survive without it). If they try to ban it, there will be rioting in the streets." "I would be so sad if they got rid of those really terrible, super soft cookies with the half-inch of icing on top of them. I don't buy them often, but sometimes that craving hits hard." —Allie, 36, Arizona "Mint Milanos." "Annie's Mac 'n' Cheese, as childish as it is. It's always been my American staple, and I would hate to see it banned in the US." —Anonymous "I think that if the US banned Gushers, I would start hyperventilating." Want to cook recipes in step-by-step mode right from your phone? Download the free Tasty app right now. "Animal Crackers." —Leanna, 13, Michigan "Reese's Peanut Butter Cups."

"Goldfish." —Khylah "Blue Raspberry is the superior candy/slushie/Slurpee flavor. I would be DEVASTATED if that got taken away." "Starbursts." —littlemintmunchin "UnMeat Luncheon vegan meat. It is not my favorite food, but it is the junkiest, most trashy food I eat. It is absolutely not good for me, but I enjoy it once in a while, and I will not feel guilty. Unpopular opinion: It tastes better than SPAM." Do you have a favorite food that belongs on this list? Let me know in the comments! You know what we'll never ban? Tasty recipes!

The Rising Cost of Living Is Becoming a Mental Health Crisis for Young Employees
SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--A new report from Modern Health, a global premium mental health solution provider, reveals a troubling picture of how Gen Z and Millennial employees are faring: only 16% rate their current mental health as excellent, with the vast majority grappling with anxiety fueled by economic uncertainty and financial stress that is taxing work productivity and personal time. In a survey of 1,000 American professionals aged 18 to 44, 79% not only feel anxious from economic uncertainty, concerningly they are also sacrificing their mental health to meet work demands. 'Our latest report reveals that many of today's young workers are quietly pushing through mounting mental health challenges just to keep up at work,' said Matt Levin, CEO of Modern Health. Share 'Our latest report reveals that many of today's young workers are quietly pushing through mounting mental health challenges just to keep up at work,' said Matt Levin, CEO of Modern Health. 'They're not getting the support they need, which should be a wake-up call for employers. We can't afford to wait until someone is in crisis to act—we need to meet people earlier, with care that's proactive, adaptive, and designed to support the mental health of entire workforce populations.' Anxiety is the New Cost of Living Financial anxiety and economic uncertainty are a key driver of mental health challenges for today's employees. Three in four say financial stress is fueling their burnout and hurting their productivity, 76% say financial anxiety is disrupting their sleep, mood and energy and directly impacting their productivity at work, and 68% say financial anxiety regularly interferes with their ability to do their jobs effectively. Financial and economic concerns are also dissuading employees from taking positive professional and personal actions in their lives. A resounding 74% of employees say they've delayed taking time off work due to financial concerns, while more than half (55%) have postponed seeking mental health care for the same reason. Even more concerning, 69% say they're staying in toxic job environments or avoiding necessary career changes due to economic fears. Repercussions of Hustle Culture The report reveals a troubling level of skepticism among younger employees when it comes to their employers' commitment to mental health. A striking 71% believe their employer uses mental health initiatives to mask a toxic culture, while 61% describe their company culture as flawed. Over half (53%) say their employer encourages self-care but makes it nearly impossible to practice. This erosion of trust is potentially fueling an unhealthy pace of work and worsening mental health in the workplace. A high majority (79%) say they routinely sacrifice their mental health to keep up with work demands, and 77% admit to checking emails during PTO, or avoiding time off altogether for fear of falling behind. Even when employees do take time off, 68% report feeling guilty, worrying it will be viewed as unproductive, or admit feeling pressure to 'power through.' Just 21% of employees say they can truly unplug without pressure from work. Alarmingly, 77% say they've worked through a mental health crisis because they felt they couldn't take a break. 'The disconnect employees feel between their mental health needs and the realities of the workplace is a signal—not of failure, but of opportunity,' said Dr. Jessica Watrous, Senior Director of Clinical Research & Scientific Affairs at Modern Health. 'Many employers are doing their best to support well-being, but employees are still feeling pressure to be 'always on,' even when it impacts their health. By creating cultures that enable people to truly unplug and ask for help without guilt, organizations can build the kind of trust and resilience that helps both people and businesses thrive—especially in today's unpredictable environment.' The Mental Health Care Gap and the High Cost of Inaction One of the most urgent challenges in workplace mental health today is the gap between when employees need support and when they actually receive it. The desire for early access to resources—before one is in crisis—is widespread, with a staggering 96% wanting access to preventative mental health support as a workplace benefit and 94% stating that they believe it would make a positive difference in their work lives. Spotlighting the growing care gap, 58% of employees admit they've waited until symptoms became unmanageable before getting help. The incentive for employers to close this gap is clear. Employees overwhelmingly believe access to preventative support would make a meaningful difference: 52% say they would feel more positive about their company, 51% say it would boost their productivity, and 49% believe it would help them avoid burnout altogether. And it's not just employees—99% of Gen Z and Millennial managers agree that workforce mental health programs positively impact overall business goals with almost half (49%) stating they directly influence business performance and results. For companies that fail to meet these needs, the stakes are high. More than half (52%) of respondents say they've considered quitting their job to protect their mental health—a clear signal that action is no longer optional. Worryingly, 1 in 7 young workers are actively searching for a new job for this very reason. 'It's not surprising to hear that younger employees want mental health support before they're in crisis—it's something we see every day,' said Alison Borland, Modern Health's Chief People and Strategy Officer. 'For many, caring for their mental health is part of how they stay balanced and show up at work and in life—and they expect their employer to support that. Mental health can't just be treated as a problem to fix after it escalates. It needs to be a strategic priority, which means offering proactive, personalized support that evolves with people's needs. At Modern Health, we call this adaptive care—and it's not only the right thing to do for employees, it's a proven way to retain top talent and reduce healthcare costs.'

The Latest: Israeli strikes in Gaza kill at least 21 people, health authorities say
Israeli strikes in Gaza killed at least 21 people late Tuesday and early Wednesday. More than half of those killed were women and children, health authorities said. Desperation is mounting in the Palestinian territory of more than 2 million, which experts say is at risk of famine because of Israel's blockade and nearly two-year offensive. A breakdown of law and order has led to widespread looting and contributed to chaos and violence around aid deliveries. More than 1,000 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces since May while trying to get food in the Gaza Strip, mostly near aid sites run by an American contractor, the U.N. human rights office said Tuesday. More than 100 human rights groups and charities signed a letter published Wednesday demanding more aid for Gaza and warning of grim conditions causing starvation. More than 59,000 Palestinians have been killed during the Israel-Hamas war, according to Gaza's Health Ministry, which is part of the Hamas-run government and staffed by medical professionals. Its count doesn't distinguish between militants and civilians, but the ministry says that more than half of the dead are women and children. The U.N. and other international organizations see it as the most reliable source of data on casualties. The Israeli military said in a statement Wednesday that forces were operating in Gaza City, as well as in northern Gaza. It said without elaborating that in Jabaliya, an area hard-hit in multiple rounds of fighting, an air strike killed 'a number of' Hamas militants. Troops struck roughly 120 targets throughout Gaza over the past day, including militant cells, tunnels and booby-trapped structures, among others, the military said. Overnight strikes kill at least 21 One Israeli strike hit a house Tuesday in the northwestern side of Gaza City, killing at least 12 people, according to the Shifa Hospital, which received the casualties. The dead included six children and two women, according to the Health Ministry's casualty list. Another strike hit an apartment in the Tal al-Hawa area in northern Gaza, killing at least six people. Among the dead were three children and two women, including one who was pregnant. Eight others were wounded, the ministry said. A third strike hit a tent in the Naser neighborhood in Gaza City late Tuesday and killed three children, Shifa Hospital said. The Israeli military did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the strikes. It blames Hamas for civilian casualties because the militants operate from populated areas. Human rights groups and charities demand more Gaza aid In the letter issued Wednesday by 109 human rights and charity groups, they warned of a dire situation pushing more people toward starvation. They said they were watching their own colleagues, as well as the Palestinians they serve, 'waste away.' The letter slammed Israel for what it said were restrictions on aid into the war-ravaged territory. It lamented 'massacres' at food distribution points, which have seen chaos and violence in recent weeks as desperation has risen. 'The government of Israel's restrictions, delays, and fragmentation under its total siege have created chaos, starvation, and death,' the letter said.
