Chips Recalled: Miss Vickie’s Spicy Dill Pickle 8-oz Bags Pulled in Six States Over Undeclared Milk
Frito-Lay announced a voluntary recall after certain 8-ounce bags of Miss Vickie’s Spicy Dill Pickle Potato Chips were found to contain undeclared milk, creating a risk of a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction for people with dairy allergies. Chips Recalled notices affect products sold in six states and include specific codes consumers can use to identify affected packages.
Chips Recalled: what products and where they were sold
The recall covers select 8-ounce bags of Miss Vickie’s Spicy Dill Pickle Potato Chips. The affected product may have mistakenly included jalapeño-flavored chips that contain milk. The action applies only to those specific Spicy Dill Pickle bags; no other Miss Vickie’s flavors, sizes, or variety packs are included in the recall.
Affected bags were distributed to retailers in Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas, with distribution beginning as early as Jan. 15. The U. S. Food and Drug Administration issued a notice highlighting the potential allergen risk for individuals with a milk allergy or sensitivity.
How to identify the recalled Miss Vickie’s bags
Consumers should check 8-ounce bags of Miss Vickie’s Spicy Dill Pickle Potato Chips for identifying marks before consuming. The recalled packages carry a "Guaranteed Fresh" date of April 21, 2026 and show one of two manufacturing codes: 38U301414 or 48U101514. A UPC number listed on packaging is 0 28400 76177 2. Manufacturing codes are printed on the front of the bag.
Those who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to milk are advised not to consume the product and to discard it immediately. Frito-Lay encourages consumers who believe they have purchased a recalled bag to contact the company for guidance.
Why the recall was issued and next steps for consumers
The recall was initiated after a consumer contacted the company, prompting an investigation that found jalapeño-flavored chips containing milk may have been included in some Spicy Dill Pickle bags. The company characterized the recall as voluntary and limited to the identified product codes and packaging.
Consumers who may have purchased affected bags are urged to check the packaging carefully and to follow the discard guidance if they have a milk allergy or sensitivity. For consumers without dairy concerns, the notices state that the product is safe to consume. The company has not expanded the recall beyond the listed Spicy Dill Pickle 8-ounce bags.
What to watch for going forward
Information provided at the time of the recall includes the affected states, bag size, flavor, manufacturing codes, UPC and Guaranteed Fresh date. Details may evolve as the company and regulators continue follow-up actions. Consumers with health concerns related to potential exposure to milk allergens should treat the notice as actionable: check bags, discard affected product if necessary, and contact the company for next steps.
This notice focuses exclusively on the specifically identified Miss Vickie’s Spicy Dill Pickle 8-ounce bags and the risk posed by undeclared milk in some units. Chips Recalled warnings emphasize the elevated risk for anyone with a dairy allergy or severe milk sensitivity; others are not expected to be affected.
