Hot chip lovers across Texas may want to double-check their pantry after a new food recall involving a popular potato chip brand; especially those who love pickle flavors!

The recall involves certain bags of Miss Vickie’s Spicy Dill Pickle Potato Chips, which may contain an undeclared allergen that could pose serious health risks for some consumers.

According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the affected chips may contain undeclared milk, which can trigger a serious or potentially life-threatening reaction in people with dairy allergies or sensitivities.

The recall was announced on March 4 and affects several states- including Texas.

How to Identify the Recalled Miss Vickie’s Chips

Consumers who purchased Miss Vickie’s chips recently should check the packaging for the following details:

Product: Miss Vickie’s Spicy Dill Pickle Potato Chips (8-ounce bag)

UPC Code:
0 28400 761772

Freshness Date:
April 21, 2026

These details can be found printed on the back of the bag.

Why the Chips Were Recalled

The recall was issued after a customer alerted the company to the undeclared allergen, according to Frito-Lay. Milk is a common food allergen, and when it is not listed on a product label it can pose a serious risk for people with dairy allergies or sensitivities.

Because of that risk, the FDA categorized the issue as one that could potentially lead to a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction for affected individuals.

What Texas Consumers Should Do

Anyone who has a milk allergy or dairy sensitivity should not consume the recalled chips. However, according to the recall notice, the product is considered safe for people without dairy allergies.

Consumers who have the affected bags are advised to avoid eating them and contact the manufacturer or return the product to the place of purchase.

Food recalls like this are not uncommon, but they serve as a reminder to always check product labels and recall notices- especially for households managing food allergies.
