Summary

Trader Joe's has recalled 2,154 cases of Organic Blue Corn Tortilla Chips because some bags were found to contain butter popcorn. This means the chips contain milk, a common allergen, which is not listed on the product label. The affected chips were sold in 16-ounce bags at retail locations in 17 states and the District of Columbia. Consumers who purchased this product should return it to any Trader Joe's location for a full refund.

Risk

The product contains undeclared milk due to the accidental mixing of butter popcorn with the tortilla chips. People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to milk run the risk of a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume this product.

  2. Look at the 'Sell By' date printed on the packaging to see if it matches 03/19/2022 or 03/20/2022.
