Frito-Lay recalls Miss Vickie’s Spicy Dill Pickle chips over undeclared milk allergen in six states

Frito-Lay is recalling a limited number of Miss Vickie’s Spicy Dill Pickle Potato Chips after a packaging error may have resulted in bags containing a different flavor that includes milk, a major food allergen not listed on the label.

The voluntary recall, announced Tuesday by Frito-Lay and later posted by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, affects certain 8-ounce bags of the chips distributed as early as Jan. 15 to retailers in Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas.

According to the company, some bags labeled as Spicy Dill Pickle may contain jalapeño-flavored potato chips. The jalapeño variety contains milk, but the Spicy Dill Pickle label does not disclose dairy as an ingredient, creating a potential risk for consumers with milk allergies.

Milk is one of the nine major food allergens recognized by the FDA. People with a milk allergy or sensitivity who consume the product could experience a serious or potentially life-threatening allergic reaction.

Frito-Lay said the recall was initiated after the company was alerted to the issue. As of March 6, no illnesses or allergic reactions related to the product had been reported.

The recall applies only to specific 8-ounce bags identified by the following packaging details:

• UPC: 0 28400 76177 2 (printed on the back of the bag)

• “Guaranteed Fresh” date: April 21, 2026

• Manufacturing codes: 38U301414 or 48U101514 (printed on the front of the bag)

The affected products were sold through grocery stores, convenience stores, drug stores and online retailers in the six states. No other Miss Vickie’s flavors, sizes or variety packs are included in the recall.

Frito-Lay, a subsidiary of PepsiCo, said consumers who have a milk allergy or sensitivity should not eat the product and should discard it.
