PepsiCo-owned Frito-Lay is recalling a “limited number” of its Doritos potato chips since the packaging doesn’t disclose common allergens, in accordance with federal health officials.
Certain 14.5-oz. and 1-oz. bags of Doritos Nacho Cheese Flavored Tortilla Chips were included within the voluntary recall because they might contain undeclared soy and wheat ingredients from spicy sweet chili tortilla chips, in accordance with the recall notice posted by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
No allergic reactions related to the recalled products have been reported. Nonetheless, people who find themselves allergic or have a sensitivity to soy or wheat “run the chance of illness should they eat these products,” the notice read.
Those individuals “mustn’t eat the product and discard it immediately,” the corporate said.
Representatives for Frito-Lay didn’t immediately reply to FOX Business’ request for further comment.
The recalled products were shipped to retail stores in Pennsylvania in addition to other outlets corresponding to food service locations and vending machines. The products were available since June 29.
In total, the recall impacts fewer than 7,000 bags of chips. No other Frito-Lay or Doritos products are included within the recall, in accordance with the notice.

Soy and wheat are amongst probably the most common foods or food groups that account for probably the most serious allergic reactions within the US, in accordance with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
The symptoms and severity of allergic reactions to food can differ per person and might change over time, the CDC said.
Anaphylaxis is a severe response and might occur inside minutes of exposure to an allergen. It could lead to death, the CDC said. Nonetheless, not all allergic reactions become anaphylaxis.
