Recall Announcement

Frito-Lay has announced a recall of certain 8-ounce bags of Miss Vickie's Spicy Dill Pickle Potato Chips after it was found that some bags may contain jalapeño-flavored chips, which include milk as an ingredient. This poses a risk for individuals with dairy allergies, as the Spicy Dill Pickle flavor does not list milk in its ingredients. The FDA released a notice regarding this issue on March 3rd. Frito-Lay confirmed the recall, stating: "A limited number of 8 oz. bags of Miss Vickie's Spicy Dill Pickle Potato Chips are being recalled as they could include jalapeño-flavored potato chips and therefore may contain an undeclared milk allergen." The company reassured consumers that the product is safe for those without dairy allergies or sensitivities. So far, no allergic reactions have been reported, and no other Miss Vickie's products are included in this recall.

Identifying Affected Bags

How to Check If Your Bag Is Affected

Not all bags of Miss Vickie's Spicy Dill Pickle are part of the recall; only specific ones are affected. To determine if your bag is included, check the UPC code located near the barcode on the back of the bag. The recalled bags have the code 0 28400 761772. Additionally, look for the manufacturing code and the "Guaranteed Fresh" date on the right side of the front of the bag. The affected bags will have a guaranteed fresh date of April 21 and one of the following manufacturing codes: 38U301414 or 48U101514. If your bag matches any of these details, do not consume it.

Distribution of Recalled Chips

Where Were These Chips Sold?

The recalled bags were distributed to retailers starting January 15th across six states: Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas. If you are located outside these states, it is unlikely that you possess an affected bag, but it is still advisable to check the codes mentioned above.

Next Steps for Consumers

What to Do If You Have the Recalled Chips

For refunds or inquiries, you can contact Miss Vickie's directly through their website or by calling 1-877-984-2543.
