Frito-Lay is recalling 13-ounce bags of its Lay’s Classic Potato Chips due to fears that they “may contain undeclared milk” that can pose a “risk of a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction” to consumers, according to the Food and Drug Administration.

“Those with an allergy or severe sensitivity to milk run the risk of a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume the recalled product,” the FDA said in a notice that was posted on Monday.

The product recall affects bags of chips that were distributed to retailers in Oregon and Washington state, according to the FDA.

The chips that were affected have been on sale since at least Nov. 3. To date, there have been no allergic reactions reported, according to the FDA.

The agency said that the affected product bears the UPC codes 28400 and 31041. The products have a “guaranteed fresh” date of Feb. 11, 2025 and one of the following manufacturing codes — 6462307xx
or 6463307xx.

Consumers are being asked to contact Frito-Lay at 1-800-352-4477. Frito-Lay is a subsidiary of snacking and beverage conglomerate PepsiCo.

The Post has sought comment from PepsiCo.

The recall of Frito-Lay chips is the latest in a series of recent incidents that have stoked widespread concern over food safety.

At least one person died and 104 people in 14 states fell ill after an E. coli outbreak linked to onions that were used to make McDonald’s Quarter Pounder hamburgers.

Last month, cucumbers shipped by Arizona-based supplier SunFed Produce were recalled across 26 states and Canada due to what health officials suspected was a salmonella outbreak.

Salmonella was also blamed for a recall of thousands of cartons of Costco eggs that were grown on a farm in New York State and shipped to stores in Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee.

At around the same time, a frozen foods company that makes waffles and pancakes sold at major US supermarkets including Walmart, Kroger and Whole Foods expanded a recall of its products due to fears of listeria contamination.

A listeria outbreak also prompted Boar’s Head, the producer of deli meats, to shutter a large Virginia factory that was flagged for unsanitary conditions by health inspectors.

At least 10 people died after reportedly consuming the contaminated deli meat.

In total, there have been more than 740 food and beverage recalls this year — more than double the number reported in 2023 and nearly triple the total from 2022.

US and EU agree trade deal, says Donald Trump

The United States and European Union have agreed a trade deal, says Donald Trump.

The announcement was made as the US president met European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen at one of his golf resorts in Scotland.

Speaking after talks in Turnberry, Mr Trump said the EU deal was the “biggest deal ever made” and it will be “great for cars”.

The US will impose 15% tariffs on EU goods into America, after Mr Trump had threatened a 30% levy.

He said there will be an EU investment of $600bn in the US, the bloc will buy $750bn in US energy and will also purchase US military equipment.

Mr Trump had earlier said the main sticking point was “fairness”, citing barriers to US exports of cars and agriculture.

He went into the talks demanding fairer trade with the 27-member EU and threatening steep tariffs to achieve that, while insisting the US will not go below 15% import taxes.

For months, Mr Trump has threatened most of the world with large tariffs in the hope of shrinking major US trade deficits with many key trading partners, including the EU.

Ms von der Leyen said the agreement would include 15% tariffs across the board, saying it would help rebalance trade between the two large trading partners.

In case there was no deal and the US had imposed 30% tariffs from 1 August, the EU has prepared counter-tariffs on €93bn (£81bn) of US goods.

Ahead of their meeting on Sunday, Ms von der Leyen described Mr Trump as a “tough negotiator and dealmaker”.
