Background on the Recall
Frito-Lay has initiated a recall of select bags of Miss Vickie’s Spicy Dill Pickle Potato Chips due to a packaging error that resulted in jalapeño-flavored chips being included instead of the intended product. This error has led to the presence of an undeclared milk allergen, posing a risk to individuals with milk allergies.
The recall affects consumers in six US states: Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas. The affected product is identified by the UPC code 0 28400 761772, and the manufacturing codes for the recalled chips are 38U301414 and 48U101514.
Details of the Recall
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced the recall on March 4, 2026, after a consumer complaint was received. The recalled chips were available for sale starting January 15, 2026, and have a guaranteed fresh date of April 21, 2026.
Frito-Lay has stated that no allergic reactions have been reported in connection with this recall. However, the FDA has warned that anyone with an allergy to milk could be at risk for a serious allergic reaction if they consume the potato chips.
Consumer Guidance
Consumers who have purchased the affected chips are advised to return them to the place of purchase for a full refund. For additional information, customers can contact Miss Vickie’s at 1-877-984-2543.
Frito-Lay has confirmed that no other Miss Vickie’s products are being recalled, emphasizing that this issue is primarily a concern for people with milk allergies or sensitivities. The brand was notified of the issue following a consumer contact, prompting the swift action to ensure public safety.
As the situation develops, observers are monitoring the response from both Frito-Lay and the FDA to ensure that consumers are adequately informed and protected from potential health risks associated with the recalled product.
