Frito-Lay said the chips "may contain undeclared milk" after a consumer alert. The FDA warned that those with a milk allergy or sensitivity could face a serious or life-threatening reaction if they consume the affected chips.

As of yesterday, Frito-Lay reported that there have been no reports of any allergic reactions.

"Frito-Lay issued a recall for a limited number of 13 oz. bags of Lay’s Classic Potato Chips that may contain undeclared milk," the company said in a statement. "The product included in this recall was distributed in Oregon and Washington. No other Lay’s products, flavors, sizes or variety packs are recalled." [source]
