MEMORANDUM FOR RECORD

SUBJECT: Frito-Lay Issues Allergy Alert on Undeclared Milk in Mislabeled Tostitos Avocado 

Salsa Jar Dip

1. REFERENCE: DHA-MSR 6025.01/AR 40-660/ DLAR 6025.01/NAVSUPINST 

10110.8D/AFI 48-161_IP/MCO 10110.38D, DOD Hazardous Food & Nonprescription Drug 

Recall System, 6 September 2018.

2. COMPANY ANNOUNCEMENT: Frito-Lay today issued a voluntary recall of select 15 oz. 

Tostitos Avocado Salsa Jar Dips that may contain an undeclared milk allergen. Those with an 

allergy or severe sensitivity to milk run the risk of a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if 

they consume these products.

While the front of the affected jar is correctly labeled as Tostitos Avocado Salsa, the back of the 

jar is mislabeled with another product’s nutrition information and declarations. As a result, the 

allergen milk is not declared on the label.

The product covered by this recall was distributed nationwide at retail stores and via e-commerce 

channels. Consumers would have been able to purchase the jars as early as April 5, 2023.

No other Tostitos products, flavors, sizes, or dip variety packs are recalled.

No allergic reactions related to this matter have been reported to date. If consumers have an 

allergy or severe sensitivity to milk, they should not consume the product and discard it 

immediately. Frito-Lay has informed the FDA of this action.
