FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - January 27, 2014 - Pringles® is recalling a small quantity of 5.68‐ounce cans of its Original crisps. The crisps are being recalled because they may have been inadvertently exposed to seasoning containing milk, which is not listed as an ingredient on the label.

Approximately 75 cans may have been impacted. However, the company is recalling one hour’s worth of production as a precaution.

People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to milk run the risk of allergic reaction and should avoid eating this impacted product. The company was first alerted to this issue by consumer contact. No illnesses or allergic reactions have been reported to date.

The recalled product is marked on the bottom of the can with a UPC code of 38000 84496 and best by date of 12/26/2014, with the manufacturing code L 3269KT70 that ends with four numbers ranging from 0830 to 0930.

The small quantity of Pringles Original cans was distributed to seven customer warehouses that supply retail stores nationwide. No other Pringles products in the U.S. or outside the U.S. are part of this voluntary recall.
