A batch of Lay's potato chips is being recalled in the United States after the Food and Drug Administration announced that there could be some fatal health risks associated with this batch of products. Manufactured by the renowned brand Frito-Lay, these Lay's potato chips were initially called back with a nominal risk level, but suddenly Federal health authorities upped the risk levels and claimed that there could be life-threatening risks associated with the consumption of these contaminated batches of products.

Lay's potato chips posing new health hazard?

As of now, the new risk classification has been termed as 'Class 1', which typically means that it is the highest level of recall possible for the FDA to announce. According to the FDA, anyone with allergies to sensitivity to milk could be prone to be exposed to the health hazards associated with the consumption of these potato chip batches.

According to the FDA, consuming these Lay's potato chips could cause “serious adverse health consequences or even death,” says an NY Post report. Meanwhile, Frito-Lay is trying to manage the crisis with a recent notice that no allergic reactions, severe or mild, related to this recall of the batch of products have been reported as of now. Meanwhile, the company is also trying to assure consumers that no other batches of their products contain the same health risks associated with this particular batch.
