Lay’s Classic Potato Chips recalled

Frito-Lay is voluntarily recalling a limited number of their Lay’s Classic Potato Chips because they may contain undeclared milk ingredients from sour cream and onion potato chips, according to a Department of Defense All Food and Drug Activity message sent May 5.

The Defense Commissary Agency has publicized this recall to all its stores, said Richard Stith, Chief, Public Health Division, DeCA headquarters at Fort Gregg-Adams, Virginia. Whenever a commissary has recalled or withdrawn products in its inventory, they are immediately removed from store shelves.
