Frito-Lay Issues Allergy Alert on Chips

Frito-Lay Issues Voluntary Allergy Alert on Undeclared Milk In Small Number of Stacy's Simply Naked Pita Chips

For Immediate Release
February 4, 2019

Announcement

Frito-Lay announced a limited voluntary recall of a very small number of 7 1/3 oz. bags of Stacy's Simply Naked Pita Chips because they may contain undeclared milk ingredients.

People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to milk run the risk of a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume the product contained inside the recalled pita chips bags.

The recalled products are 7 1/3 oz. bags of Stacy's Simply Naked Pita Chips that were distributed nationwide and have both a "Use By" date of 23 APR 2019 and a nine-character manufacturing code of "65M127902" listed below the "Use By" date.

These numbers can be found on the front of the bag along the top right side. In addition, the recalled bags will also have a UPC code of "028400564632" listed on the bottom right side of the back of the bag.

No other Stacy's products or flavors are recalled.

The recall was initiated after it was discovered that 228 bags of Stacy's Simply Naked Pita Chips were inadvertently filled with another flavor of pita chips, potentially exposing consumers to undeclared milk.

One consumer allergic reaction related to this matter has been reported to date.

Frito-Lay has informed the FDA of our actions.

Consumers with the product noted above can return the product to a retailer for a refund or contact Frito-Lay Consumer Relations at 1-800-352-4477 (9 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. CST, Monday-Friday).

Fibromyalgia and allergies to pain meds

With my Fibromyalgia I have been having more and more sensitivities and allergies. What's worse is that last week, at Sparks Hospital in Fort Smith AK, they gave me Demoral of which I have never had any reaction to and have always used it for surgery and surgical procedures. Within 6 mins I broke out in hives and had a tightness in my chest. So add that one to my medicine allergy list and that makes 22. My worst are Latex, Morphine, Tylenol and Iodine/betadine. I go into anaphalaxis shock with the first three.

Today going to the pain doctor was such a fiasco since they are trying to determine what to give me for pain. We had to rule out all things with Tylenol shortening the list and then with Morphine further shortening the list. And all we came up with was Fenteyal patch at 12 mcg which is the only dosage they give for that.

I have had in the past trigger point injections and injections in my low back and hips with an xray that have really helped. However, this pain clinic doesn't do that yet. They keep saying they are going to have another doctor in the clinic who will be doing those things. All I can say is hurry it up. The PA felt my trigger points and felt how inflamed they were but just said she will add me to the top of the list for this new doctor that's joining their clinic. The nurse said maybe I should try CBD oil. That's an alternative but expensive.

It's not just medication allergies I have due to my Fibromyalgia. I also have allergies to soaps and that includes bath, dishwashing and laundry. I also can't wear clothing that is tight or that has tags as they also bother me. The only bras I wear or sports and only when I have to go to a doctor appt or an event. Otherwise at home I do without. 

How many of you with Fibromyalgia also have allergies and to what?
