The chips are down: Some Tostitos tortilla chips sold in 13 states are being recalled because of an “undeclared milk allergen.” The recall affects fewer than 1,300 13-ounce bags.
Frito-Lay is voluntarily recalling a limited number of Tostitos tortilla chips that could contain an undeclared milk allergen, the company announced.
The recall affects fewer than 1,300 bags of 13-ounce Tostitos Cantina Traditional Yellow Corn tortilla chips sold in 13 states.
Frito-Lay said in a news release on Wednesday that the chips are “being recalled as they could include nacho cheese tortilla chips and therefore may contain an undeclared milk allergen.”

The bags of chips were sold in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, Ohio, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia.
Consumers may have purchased the chips beginning March 7, and all impacted bags have a “guaranteed fresh” date of May 20, the company said.
