Last month, a recall was issued for Lay’s Classic Potato Chips sold in Oregon and Washington due to the potential presence of an undeclared allergen: milk. The FDA has since classified the recall as a Class 1 risk, similar to a recent recall reclassification involving a Costco product.
A Class 1 recall is the highest level of severity. As Claire Moses wrote for The New York Times, the 6,344 recalled bags are now under the FDA's "highest level of severity," which "warns of potentially serious or even deadly consequences from consuming the product."
