If you like to crunch Frito-Lay’s Tostitos Cantina-style corn chips, look out! The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced it has elevated a recall it issued last month for it due to an undeclared allergen. The Frito-Lay recall covers chips sold in 13 different states.
Frito-Lay recall: “Could cause serious adverse health consequences or death”
Manufacturer Frito-Lay initially issued the recall for 1,300 bags of its Tostitos Cantina-style corn chips on March 26. The FDA has now upgraded that recall to Class 1, meaning that it presents a serious health hazard that could “cause serious adverse health consequences or death.”
The chips are being recalled because they might include nacho cheese tortilla chips and thus have an undeclared milk allergen. Because of this, anyone with an allergy or severe sensitivity to milk runs the risk of a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they eat the chips.
The product was sold in grocery and convenience stores in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, Ohio, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia. The chips were sold as early as March 7.
The 13-ounce bags contain a UPC code of 2840052848 and have a freshness dating of May 20, 2025.
Do you have these in your pantry?
Anyone who has an allergy or sensitivity to milk should not consume the product but instead throw it away.

Thank you, Russ and Tina! Our Tostitos are not within the recall. The first few digits of the UPC matched, but deviated at about the 5th or 6th position. Have a great weeek and safe travels!
