FDA Recall: Miss Vickie’s Spicy Dill Pickle Potato for Undeclared milk allergen

Miss Vickie’s March 04, 2026

FDA Recall Alert: Miss Vickie’s Spicy Dill Pickle Potato Chips Contain Undeclared Milk

Check your pantry: select 8-oz bags of Miss Vickie’s Spicy Dill Pickle Potato Chips distributed in six southern states may contain undeclared milk. People with dairy allergies should not eat these chips—discard them or contact Frito-Lay for a refund.

Why These Chips Were Pulled

Frito-Lay issued a voluntary recall after discovering that some bags labeled “Spicy Dill Pickle” were inadvertently filled with jalapeño-flavored chips that contain a milk ingredient. Because milk is not listed on the Spicy Dill Pickle label, the product poses a potential risk of severe or life-threatening allergic reactions for consumers who are allergic to milk.

The labeling error was reported by a consumer; no confirmed allergic reactions had been reported at the time of the FDA announcement on March 4, 2026.
