Some corn chips in the latest recall of Frito-Lee have a high risk condition due to a undeclared component that can cause “life-threatening” allergic reaction.
On Saturday, the US Food and Drug Administration classified the 13-ounce bags of the Tostito Cancer traditional yellow corn tortilla chips as Class I. This type of memory is “a situation in which there is a reasonable possibility that a violative product, a violative product will cause severe adverse health results or death,” according to the FDA.
The FDA initially announced a limited number of these chips on 2 April. The recall was started as the bags may be accidentally filled with nacho paneer tortilla chips, meaning that they can be an undeclared milk allergen.
If a person who is allergic to milk, eats these chips, their reactions may “vary in severity from mild symptoms, including mitti and lip inflammation, severe, life-threatening symptoms,” FDA says.
With milk, the most common are undeclared allergies, shellfish, eggs, fish, peanuts, trees nuts and soybeans.
The Frito-levic products were distributed in a series of retailers in 13 states: Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentaki, Mississippi, North Carolina, Ohio, South Carolina, Tennessy, Virginia and West Virginia.
The chip bags were first sold on 7 March, which included less than 1,300 bags. The error has not led to any allergic reaction.
This is not the first time that Frito-Lee recalled a product due to an undeclared allergen. In November, a limited number of classic potato chips bags were remembered because they may include undeclared milk, which Frito-Le learned “after being alerted through a consumer contact.”
The back -called product was sent to retail stores and distributors in Oregon and Washington, and it was available for purchase in early November 3, 2024. Two months later, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) remembered this memory in a classroom.
A group of food released in the previous month have been remembered. According to an announcement shared by the United States Food Safety and Inspection Services, on Saturday, Johnsonville, LLC recalled about 22,672 pounds of its cake brartworst product. The recall was released because the sausages may be contaminated with “especially hard plastic” with “foreign materials”.
After Johnsonville, LLC received complaints from two separate customers, who report the hard plastic found in their bratvrst. At the time of writing, there has been no news of injuries due to sausage consumption.
Also this month, Trader Joe released a recall on her hot honey mustard dressing due to “labeling error”. The FDA stated that the dressing bottles were incorrectly labeled with a nutrition sticker with use until the date of May 27, 2025, which did not accurately include an allergy warning for peanuts, soy, sesame or wheat.
