The Food and Drug Administration has announced a recall for the popular snack Miss Vickie’s Spicy Dill Pickle Potato Chips. According to the FDA, Frito-Lay recalled the 8-ounce bags after realizing that the product may contain “undeclared milk,” which poses a serious risk for people who are allergic to milk.
“A limited number of 8 oz. bags of Miss Vickie’s Spicy Dill Pickle Potato Chips are being recalled as they could include jalapeño-flavored potato chips and therefore may contain an undeclared milk allergen,” Frito-Lay said in a statement to USA Today. “Unless a consumer has a dairy allergy or sensitivity to milk, this product is safe to consume.”
How can consumers identify the recalled Miss Vickie’s products?
The recalled 8-ounce Miss Vickie’s Spicy Dill Pickle potato chips are marked with the UPC code 0 28400 761772, written on the back of the bag. The code date and manufacturing code are written as “Guaranteed fresh” with a date of 21 APR 2026, Chron reported. Consumers can also identify the products with codes 38U301414 or 48U101514.
The recalled products, according to the FDA, may have been distributed as early as Jan. 15 to retailers in Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas.
The FDA is advising consumers to discard the product if they have an allergy to milk. The agency also stated that the recall has not yet been classified. Frito-Lay has not yet reported any allergic reactions caused by the recalled snacks. Additionally, the company hasn’t recalled any other Miss Vickie’s products.
When did Frito-Lay release its dill pickle flavor chips?
Frito-Lay released its dill pickle chips in 2025 as TikTok users were taking part in a trend showing their obsession with the popular flavor, the Seattle Times reported. Miss Vickie’s Spicy Dill Pickle Potato Chips are now found in various stores across several U.S. states.
Other flavors in the Miss Vickie’s lineup include sour cream, sea salt, jalapeño, sea salt and vinegar, smokehouse BBQ and honey mustard.
Frito-Lay purchased Miss Vickie’s chips in 1993, a few years after the product was created in Canada by farmers Vickie and Bill Kerr.
