Tostitos chip's recall
It seems that Tostitos Cantina-style tortilla chips may unintentionally contain nacho cheese tortilla chips with an undeclared milk allergen. While this is not risky to most individuals, for those with a milk allergy or severe milk sensitivity; eating these chips could lead to a very life-threatening allergic reaction.
