Miss Vickie’s Chips Recalled: Spicy Dill Pickle & Jalapeño Flavors Affected
Frito-Lay has issued a voluntary recall for specific bags of Miss Vickie’s Spicy Dill Pickle and Jalapeño Potato Chips sold in six states. The recall stems from the presence of undeclared milk, posing a potential health risk to individuals with dairy allergies or sensitivities. The U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) warns that consuming these chips could lead to “serious or life-threatening allergic reactions.”

The recall affects 8 oz. bags of Miss Vickie’s Spicy Dill Pickle and Jalapeño Potato Chips. The issue came to light after a consumer alerted Frito-Lay to the potential allergen concern. Importantly, the company emphasizes that only these specific flavors and sizes are impacted; no other Miss Vickie’s products are included in the recall.

Consumers in the following states should check their chip supply:
- Arkansas
