The recall by PepsiCo — Frito-Lay of Tostitos tortilla chips due to an undeclared milk allergen could lead to a minor negative impact on PepsiCo's stock price and brand reputation. Consumers with milk allergies in the affected states may lose trust in the brand, potentially affecting future sales.

Food and Beverage

PepsiCo — Frito-Lay, a subsidiary of PepsiCo, has voluntarily recalled less than 1,300 bags of 13-ounce Tostitos Cantina Traditional Yellow Corn tortilla chips across 13 states in the United States. The recall is due to the potential presence of nacho cheese tortilla chips, which contain an undeclared milk allergen. This poses a serious risk to individuals with milk allergies or severe sensitivities. The affected products have a 'guaranteed fresh' date of May 20, 2025, and specific manufacturing codes. No allergic reactions have been reported so far. This is the second recall for PepsiCo — Frito-Lay this year, following a similar recall of Lay's Classic potato chips in January.
