(WJW) – The popular chip brand Frito-Lay is recalling a limited number of Tostitos tortilla chips over an undeclared allergen.

The company issued the recall Wednesday, after it was discovered that “less than” 1,300 bags of Tostitos Cantina Traditional Yellow Corn Tortilla Chips may instead contain nacho cheese tortilla chips, which are made with a milk ingredient that is not declared on the bag.

“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,” reads a press release issued Wednesday.

The company says the recalled bags of Tostitos chips were distributed to both retailers and “e-commerce distributors” in 13 states: Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, Ohio, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia.

The affected chips were first available for sale on March 7, according to Frito-Lay’s parent company PepsiCo. They were sold in 13-ounce bags, and bear the UPC code 2840052848 as well as a “guaranteed fresh” date of May 20, 2025. All of the recalled chips would also bear a manufacturing code with specific digits. (More information can be found on Frito-Lay’s recall release.)

“No other Tostitos products, flavors, sizes, or variety packs are recalled,” the company says.

Customers with milk allergies or sensitivities are being urged to discard the affected product and contact Frito-Lay. A representative for the company told Nexstar that affected customers can also contact Frito-Lay for compensation.

“Unless a consumer has a dairy allergy or sensitivity to milk, this product is safe to consume,” reads a statement from Frito-Lay
