A maker of salty snacks is recalling chips. The reason for this was that some of the bags were filled with the wrong product.

In some packs of the product, some with “paprika” flavorings were filled with “chile cheese” flavoring instead of potato chips. The condiment used for this flavoring contains the allergen milk, which is not declared on the packaging due to incorrect filling.

Nevertheless, the packaged goods are of perfect quality. People who do not have a milk protein allergy or lactose intolerance can safely consume the chips. The recall is said to be a precautionary measure to protect people with this type of allergy.
