Tortilla chips recalled in Alabama, 12 other states due to allergen

Frito-Lay has issued a recall on a “limited number” of 13 oz. bags of Tostitos Cantina Traditional Yellow Corn Tortilla Chips in 13 states including Alabama.

Less than 1,300 of these bags could include nacho cheese tortilla chips and therefore may contain undeclared milk, according to the company’s release.

“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,” it reads.

Customers would have been able to buy the chips as early as Mar. 7, according to the release.

Affected bags bear the UPC code 2840052848 as well as a “guaranteed fresh” date of May 20, 2025.

The specific manufacturing codes on the recalled bags can be found on Frito-Lay’s website.

These chips were distributed to grocery, convenience and drug stores, as well as e-commerce distributors, in the following 13 states: Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, Ohio, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia, the release says.

It adds that no allergic reactions related to the recall have been reported so far and that this recall doesn’t affect any other Tostitos products, flavors, sizes or variety packs.

Those impacted by the recall may reach out to Frito Lay for compensation, according to company representatives.
