The Food and Drug Administration warned that consuming 13-ounce bags of Frito-Lay potato chips could be fatal.

The FDA called the recall a "Class 1," its highest level. The FDA said the potato chips may contain undeclared milk.

"Those with an allergy or severe sensitivity to milk run the risk of a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume the recalled product," the FDA said in a notice posted last month.

Milk is one of the FDA's eight "major food allergens" and can trigger serious allergic reactions in sensitive individuals, including hives, cramps, dizziness, swollen vocal cords, and unconsciousness, the New York Post reported.

Consuming the chips could cause "serious adverse health consequences or death," the FDA warned.

The recall began last month after a customer alerted Frito-Lay to the issue, the Post said.

Frito-Lay told the Post in a statement no allergic reactions related to this recall have been reported.

Frito-Lay said no other Lay's products, flavors, sizes, or variety packs are affected, making this an isolated incident, the Post said.

The affected chips have a guaranteed fresh date of Feb. 11 and a manufacturing code of either either "6462307xx" or "6463307xx," the Post reported.

Customers who bought the chips should throw them away, especially if someone is allergic to milk, the Post reported.
