According to FDA guidelines, Class I recalls are issued when there's a reasonable possibility that exposure to a product could lead to severe health consequences or death, underscoring the seriousness of this situation. Despite the recall escalation, there have been no reported allergic reactions associated with these chips as of now.
Only the Classic variety is involved in this recall; other Lay’s products remain unaffected. The reasons for the FDA's severe classification are not fully clear, and the agency has pointed to a communication hold affecting health announcements since the previous administration.
