PepsiCo-owned Frito-Lay is recalling a “limited number” of its Doritos potato chips in Pennsylvania due to packaging not disclosing common allergens.
Roughly 7,000 14.5-oz. and 1-oz. bags of Doritos Nacho Cheese flavored tortilla chips were voluntarily recalled due to the possible contamination of undeclared soy and wheat ingredients from the spicy sweet chili tortilla chips, according to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

“The products covered by this recall were distributed at retail stores only in Pennsylvania and other outlets, such as foodservice locations and vending machines,” the release stated. “Consumers would have been able to purchase the chips as early as June 29, 2023.”
“If consumers have an allergy or severe sensitivity to soy or wheat, they should not consume the product and discard it immediately,” the FDA said in a news release.
