Popular snack sold nationwide recalled for ‘life-threatening’ allergen: Throw away ASAP

More than 1,000 bags of Tostitos Cantina Traditional Yellow Corn Chips are being recalled for containing an undeclared allergen.

Frito-Lay issued a recall for a limited number of 13-ounce bags, as these chips could contain nacho cheese tortilla chips and may contain undeclared milk.

“Those with an allergy or severe sensitivity to milk run the risk of a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume the recalled product,” the recall states.
