Why Frito-Lay Just Issued A Tortilla Chip Recall In 13 States
While 13 states is quite a few, only 1,300 bags have been recalled, and no reactions have yet been reported. The affected Tostitos chips have been on sale since March 7. The recalled chips are in a standard 13 ounce bag, have a UPC of 28400 52848, and will also have two other very specific labels. The "Guaranteed Fresh" label on the bag will be 20 MAY 2025, and one of four possible manufacturing codes. The codes are: 471106504 18 13:XX, 471106505 85 13:XX, 471106506 85 13:XX, or 471106507 85 13:XX, and the XX on each code may be a number between 30 and 55. All of this information can also be found on the FDA recall alert.

While no issues have yet been linked to the recall, an undeclared milk allergen can be a serious risk. While minor side effects can include digestive problems and hives, milk can also cause vomiting, wheezing, and possibly anaphylaxis, which is life-threatening. Blood pressure drops, nausea, and trouble breathing are signs of anaphylaxis and can happen within minutes of consuming a contaminated item. If you have a dairy allergy any potentially recalled Tostitos bags should not be consumed and should be safely thrown out immediately. And if you have already eaten recalled food and are showing signs of a serious allergic reaction, you should go to an emergency room.
However if you do not have a dairy allergy the tortilla chips are still safe. If you have any questions about the recall, Frito-Lay may be contacted through its website or by calling 1-800-352-4477 between 9 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Central time from Monday to Friday. The number of recalled items may be small, but with allergies you can never be too careful.

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."

"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 Huge Contaminated Fruit Recall That Led To 33 Deaths
It wasn't contaminated chicken or undercooked pork. In the summer of 2011, the deadliest foodborne outbreak in recent United States history started with a piece of fruit. Cantaloupes from Jensen Farms in Colorado were contaminated with Listeria, a type of bacteria, and ultimately triggered a massive nationwide recall. This outbreak ultimately killed 33 people and hospitalized at least 147 across 28 states. As CBS News Colorado reported, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) traced the contamination to the farm's unsanitary conditions: equipment that was hard to clean, no antimicrobial rinse, and a facility that previously handled potatoes. Unlike more familiar recalls involving leafy greens or ground beef, cantaloupe typically doesn't carry listeria, so consumers didn't see it coming. And that is the part that made the outbreak so dangerous. There were no warning signs, no usual suspects — just a piece of fruit that tragically turned fatal. The outbreak was so serious that federal prosecutors pursued criminal charges against Jensen Farms. Read more: 7 Costco Meats You Should Buy And 5 You Should Avoid Cantaloupe doesn't exactly scream danger. But that bumpy, netted skin? It's a bacteria trap. Unlike chicken or eggs, melon isn't something you generally cook before eating, so there's no last-minute step to eliminate Listeria and other bacteria. If a farm cuts corners on cleaning or skips proper sanitizing, the damage is done long before the fruit hits your fridge. That's exactly what happened in 2011. The machines had previously been used for potatoes and lacked a chlorine rinse, so by the time anyone noticed, 33 people had died. More than a decade later, we're still seeing dangerous outbreaks. In late 2023, tainted cantaloupe linked to a Salmonella outbreak killed six people and hospitalized dozens more. It wasn't caught until the fruit had already landed on shelves across the country, making it one of the largest produce recalls in recent memory. And these aren't isolated flukes. As our food supply becomes more centralized and industrialized, mistakes ripple farther and faster. From E. coli in lettuce to Listeria in ice cream, the deadliest food recalls in U.S. history are a reminder that what we eat is only as safe as the systems that produce it.

Ice cream, other foods getting makeover as part of MAHA
The White House is touting progress in getting artificial colors and harmful chemicals out of the U.S. food supply — including news that ice cream companies that together make more than 90% of the ice cream sold in the U.S. have agreed to stop using certified artificial colors in their products. 'President Donald J. Trump took office promising to confront the chronic health crisis plaguing Americans — and six months later, he is delivering on that promise by removing harmful chemicals from our food supply," per a White House news release Monday. The effort is in line with findings of U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy's 'Make Americans Healthy Again' effort. In a report the department recently issued, chemical exposures and food dyes were called out as harmful. As Deseret News noted, the report on children's health focused on four things: an unhealthy diet — including artificial ingredients and dyes — exposure to environmental chemicals, too little activity and overprescription of medications. The White House list of companies that manufacture food and promise to make it healthier includes: Steak 'n Shake replaced its buttery blend with 100% all natural beef tallow, per QSR Magazine. In-N-Out told Good Morning America that it is making the same transition to 100% beef tallow and said it will remove artificial food dyes and artificial flavors from its menu items. McCormick said it will drop certain food dyes. McCormick CEO Brendan Foley told analysts that 'we are seeing a tick-up in reformulation activity' regarding food dyes and sodium, the latter of which he added they've always been working on, per Fox Business. PepsiCo is going to reformulate some of its products, including Tostitos and Lay's chips by the end of the year to remove artificial ingredients. Ramon Laguarta, company chair and CEO, told Food Business News in April that 60% of the company's portfolio already didn't have artificial colors. Tyson Foods has been 'proactively reformulating' products that contain petroleum-based artificial dyes, per Reuters. The company noted that most of its products don't contain those dyes. Mars Wrigley removed titanium dioxide from Skittles. Fox News reported it's typically used 'to make food look whiter and opaque.' Sam's Club has said it is 96% of the way to the goal of removing artificial ingredients from its private brand, Member's Mark. The warehouse store is calling the effort 'made without,' per a release from Walmart, Sam's Club's parent company. It said that 'the 'Made Without' list includes over 40 distinct ingredients, such as artificial colors, aspartame and high-fructose corn syrup, that were identified based on a combination of member feedback, nutritional guidance and industry trends.' Kraft-Heinz is giving its products a no-artificial-dyes makeover in the U.S., as Deseret News earlier reported. General Mills is taking artificial dyes from its cereals and all foods sold in K-12 schools, as the Associated Press reported. Nestlé USA said most of its portfolio doesn't have synthetic colors, but it's reformulating products that do to eliminate them by the middle of next year. 'Conagra Foods announced it will remove certain color additives from its frozen products, no longer offer products with artificial dyes in K-12 schools and stop using artificial dyes in the manufacturing of its products," per the White House. JM Smucker is getting rid of its synthetic colors from consumer food products, according to FoodDive and Hershey is doing the same, per Bloomberg. The Consumer Brands Association said it is urging its food and beverage companies to stop using the certified Food, Drug and Cosmetic colors from products served in schools by fall 2026.
