Tortilla chips sold in 13 states recalled for 'undeclared milk allergen'
Frito-Lay is voluntarily recalling a limited number of Tostitos tortilla chips that could contain an undeclared milk allergen, the company announced.
The recall affects fewer than 1,300 bags of 13-ounce Tostitos Cantina Traditional Yellow Corn tortilla chips sold in 13 states.
Frito-Lay said in a news release on Wednesday that the chips are "being recalled as they could include nacho cheese tortilla chips and therefore 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 the recalled product," Frito-Lay said.
The bags of chips were sold in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, Ohio, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia.
Consumers may have purchased the chips beginning March 7, and all impacted bags have a "guaranteed fresh" date of May 20, the company said.
This is the second recall of a Frito-Lay product this year.
The company recalled cchertain bags of Lay's Classic potato chips in January after the potential presence of undeclared milk was detected in bags sold in Oregon and Washington, FOX Business reported.
Frito-Lay said there have been no reported allergic reactions to the Tostitos chips so far.
"Unless a consumer has a dairy allergy or sensitivity to milk, this product is safe to consume," Frito-Lay said.
Frito-Lay, headquartered in Plano, Texas, is a subsidiary of PepsiCo.

Elon Musk predicts a recession this year. 8 sneaky signs we actually could be headed for one
Elon Musk said yesterday he predicts a recession for later this year, a call many executives have made since President Donald Trump implemented his tariff regime. The threat to business activity has also caused concern about a potential recession. Some consumer behaviors can indicate when a recession might be on the way. Amid Elon Musk and Donald Trump's mudslinging on Thursday, the Tesla CEO said the president's tariffs 'will cause a recession in the second half of this year.' Musk could be on to something. Other executives have had the same idea for a while, ever since President Trump instituted sweeping tariffs in early April. While he later put the highest rates on pause, risks remain. Survey results released by Chief Executive in May showed 46% of CEOs forecast a recession or slowdown in the next six months. Goldman Sachs also said in May it expects there is a 35% chance of a recession. In April, Ray Dalio, founder of Bridgewater Associates, warned the U.S. could see something 'worse than a recession.' 'Right now, we are at a decision-making point and very close to a recession. I'm worried about something worse than a recession if this isn't handled well,' Dalio told NBC in April. 'We have something that's much more profound, we have a breaking down of the monetary order.' While executive predictions and investment bank analysis can be a more reliable way to predict an economic downfall, there are several oddball recession indicators that come straight from consumers themselves. In its earning call this week, Campbell's CEO Mick Beekhuizen said there is a 'growing preference for home-cooked meals,' adding it was the highest level since early 2020. And that could be a bad sign for the economy. Consumers dining out less and opting more for cheaper alternatives like Campbell's soup signal a tightening budget. Meanwhile, spending on discretionary items like crackers and chips declined, Beekhuizen said. Campbell's is already starting to see a decline in discretionary spending on snacks—and so are some other major snack food companies. In February, Nestle posted its weakest sales growth in more than two decades. PepsiCo, the maker of Lay's and Tostitos, also reported earlier this year net sales had dropped by 2% and volume for savory snacks fell 4%. 'Consumer conditions in many markets remain subdued' and 'have an uncertain outlook,' said PepsiCo CEO Ramon Laguarta. Also in the food-related realm, pizza purchases can serve as an indicator of economic conditions. A Bloomberg analysis published Friday shows low-income consumers are being 'priced out of pizza,' and same-store sales were down during the first quarter at Pizza Hut, Papa John's, and Domino's. Since 2019, the average price of a large pizza at the top five chains is up 30% to $18.19, Richard Shank, an analyst at market research firm Technomic, told Bloomberg. Meanwhile, Nestle reported frozen pizza is one of its 'underperformers' due to pricing, according to Bloomberg. The lipstick index was popularized during the 2008 recession, and stems from Estée Lauder heir Leonard Lauder noting his company's sales of lipstick rose after the 2001 terrorist attacks. The idea is that when the economy is struggling, sales of affordable luxury items like lipstick, nail polish, and perfume tend to increase. Although consumers may be tightening their belts, they want something affordable to feel a sense of normalcy—i.e. a $5 lipstick from the convenience store. E.l.f. Beauty, which recently announced it had acquired Hailey Bieber's makeup company Rhode, reported on May 28 its net sales jumped 28%. L'Oréal reported in April its lip products 'fueled its strong innovation lineup,' and helped its consumer products division outpace the market. Ulta Beauty also had a strong earnings report in late May, seeing net sales jump 4.5%. Another odd recession indicator is the men's underwear index. Alan Greenspan, who served as Federal Reserve chair from 1987 to 2006, followed this index, which assumes people treat men's underwear purchases as discretionary spending and they'll purchase less of it during recessions. Calvin Klein, one of the most ubiquitous men's underwear brands, saw fourth-quarter revenue drop 5% due to a 'a tougher than expected macroeconomic backdrop,' according to CFO Zac Coughlin. While consumers may buy affordable luxuries during a recession, they tend to shy away from more expensive treats, like champagne. Bubbly sales dropped dramatically in 2024, and provisional February sales data shows sales continued to decline this year, according to Wine Searcher. 'Champagne is a true barometer of consumer mood,' said Maxime Toubart, president of the Champagne Syndicat Général des Vignerons (SGV) and co-president of the Comité Champagne. 'This is no time for celebration, with inflation and global conflicts taking place, as well as economic and political uncertainty in some of Champagne's largest markets, such as France and the U.S.' As costs continue to rise, 'people have less disposable income to splurge on champagne,' Emma Versaw, head of alcohol business at retail technology company Swiftly, previously told Fortune. 'So maybe there aren't less celebrations, but less extravagant celebrations.' One TikTok user also suggested that more wealthy people are moving to increasingly exclusive places and that that's a recession signal. 'There are new levels of exclusivity,' the user said. 'People are climbing this social ladder and trying to be around the rich, trying to be rich, all that stuff, and improve their lives. The people who are already in there—the established rich—are moving away. 'There's new tiers opening,' she added, citing airlines adding more exclusive lounges. 'It feels like each time the 99% break that ceiling—or at least crack it—the rich build another level with another glass ceiling. I think it's about to be more severe now that we're kind of in decline,' she said. As housing becomes increasingly expensive, people turn toward storage units to house their goods when they're not able to downsize. A Financial Times analysis published in April found the number of storage units is growing, which could serve as a recession indicator.

Trump Team Scrambles After Report He's Killing Manufacturing Jobs
The labor market is slowing, but it's all good news in the White House. The U.S. added 139,000 jobs in May, a slight decline from April, according to a jobs report released Friday. The unemployment rate remained at 4.2 percent, still within the ballpark of historic lows reached in 2023, when the unemployment rate reached 3.4 percent—the lowest it had been in more than five decades. But within the folds of the report hid a major red flag for Donald Trump's agenda: The U.S. is still bleeding manufacturing jobs. 'GREAT JOB NUMBERS, STOCK MARKET UP BIG! AT THE SAME TIME, BILLIONS POURING IN FROM TARIFFS!!!' Trump celebrated on Truth Social. But even the president's favorite conservative network couldn't hide its dismay at the slight manufacturing downturn. 'Now, 8,000 manufacturing jobs were lost in May. That's not what you wanted to see,' said Fox Business host Stuart Varney. 'Well, we're certainly holding steady,' said Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer. 'And under the Trump administration, manufacturing jobs are still up over what the last administration, under [Joe] Biden, had. 'The focus of my 'America at Work' tour is to increase those manufacturing jobs, and we'll continue to stay laser focused on that as the president continues to double down on how important this is to the American economy,' she added. 'But how come we're losing 8,000 manufacturing jobs in May, when there's a big push to bring manufacturing jobs back to America? How come we're losing those jobs?' Varney pressed. Chavez-DeRemer was stuck in her script. 'We're certainly holding steady,' she insisted. Since the beginning of April, Trump has pitched his global tariff agenda as a means to return manufacturing jobs to U.S. shores. But two months later, the president's on-again, off-again tariffs have done little more than add tumult to American markets and trade. Investors have learned to play the market by an unflattering acronym—TACO, or 'Trump always chickens out'—while administration officials such as Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick have blundered by publicly admitting they have no intention of bringing tariffs between the U.S. and other nations down to zero.

Dr. Oz on Medicaid cuts: People should ‘prove that you matter'
Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Administrator Mehmet Oz defended President Trump's 'big, beautiful bill' over criticism that millions of people could lose health coverage, saying those who would face new work requirements should 'prove that you matter.' Oz made the comments during an interview Wednesday on Fox Business, arguing that when Medicaid was created in the 1960s lawmakers did not include work requirements because it 'never dawned on anybody that able-bodied people who work would be on Medicaid.' 'We're asking that able-bodied individuals who are able to go back to work at least try to get a job or at least volunteer or take care of loved-one who needs help or go back to school,' he said. 'Do something that shows you have agency over your future.' If Americans are willing to do that, he added, they should be able to be enrolled or stay enrolled in Medicaid. 'But if you are not willing to do those things, we are going to ask you to do something else. Go on the exchange, or get a job and get onto regular commercial insurance. But we are not going to continue to pay for Medicaid for those audiences.' 'Go out there, do entry-level jobs, get into the workforce, prove that you matter. Get agency into your own life,' he added. 'It's a much more enjoyable experience if you go through life thinking you are in control of your destiny and you will get better insurance at the same time.' Close to 11 million people would lose health insurance coverage if the House Republican tax bill passes in the Senate, mainly due to cuts to Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act, according to analysis from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office. Trump's sprawling agenda bill calls for trillions of dollars' worth of tax cuts, with offsets from sweeping cuts to federal benefit programs, primarily Medicaid. The bill would reduce federal Medicaid spending by $793 billion, according to an analysis from health care policy nonprofit KFF. Most of those savings stem from new work requirements for adults trying to enroll in the public health insurance program and more frequent eligibility checks. The bill calls for states to impose work requirements for childless adults between the ages of 19 and 64, with some exceptions, to be eligible for Medicaid. Adults would be required to work or volunteer at least 80 hours a month beginning in December 2026 to qualify for the public health insurance program. Many Trump allies in Congress have sought to downplay the impact of the Medicaid reforms, denying it will reduce access to the program. Meanwhile, several Senate Republicans have raised alarm over Medicaid cuts. Office of Management and Budget Director Russell Vought recently told CNN's Dana Bash that concerns over the bill are 'ridiculous.' 'This bill will preserve and protect the programs, the social safety net, but it will make it much more common sense,' he said. 'No one will lose coverage as a result of the bill.' Democrats have pushed hard against the proposed cuts, while GOP senators such as Lisa Murkowski (Alaska), Susan Collins (Maine) and Josh Hawley (Mo.) have pushed for changes to the bill passed by the House last month.
