The U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s recent approval of a product known as Zyn is a leap forward for the cause of tobacco harm

The FDA has upgraded a recall of Lay’s Potato Chips to the highest level possible, meaning consuming the chips will cause adverse health consequences. In December, Texas-based food manufacturer Frito Lay recalled a limited number of Lay’s Classic 13oz because the product could contain undeclared milk ingredients.

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — A December 2024 chocolate recall has been upgraded to highest risk level by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which says consuming the product could “cause serious adverse health consequences or death.”

A recall which was issued across nine states has now been given the highest risk classification by the federal agency.

For many, Lay’s potato chips are a go-to snack. Recently, a serious recall has raised concerns for consumers, especially those with food allergies.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration wants to put nutrition information front and center on food products to give consumers an easier way to identify nutrients linked to chronic diseases. The FDA announced its plans to push for a rule that would require food manufacturers to include a front-of-package nutrition label on most packaged food products.

Class I, according to the FDA, means exposure to or consumption of the product could cause "serious adverse health consequences or death."

All things considered, it’s at least as likely to make health outcomes worse as it is to make most people healthier.

The FDA just set the highest risk level—class 1—for the recall of Lay's Classic Potato Chips amid concern that they contain undeclared milk. Here's what you need to know.
