Danger! Lay's Chips recalled due to carcinogenic mineral oil!
Shock for snack lovers: There is a nationwide recall of the popular chip brand Lay's, which was initiated due to health concerns. The manufacturer, PepsiCo Nederland BV, decided on July 10, 2025 to remove all affected Lay's mini bags in packs of 9 (225 grams each) from sale. The reason is proven mineral oil pollution, which could have a negative impact on health. The affected batches have the manufacturer code 340057333871039852978723 and the best before date of August 23, 2025.
The chips were sold exclusively in Action branches, where the products had been available since May 23, 2025. The Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR) responded to the recall, pointing out the insufficient data on the effects of mineral oil contamination. Consumers should pay attention because MOSH (mineral oil components) can be detected in the body, while MOAH (particles from mineral oils) are potentially carcinogenic. This sounds serious and should not be taken lightly.
Returns and refunds
The good news: Customers who have already enjoyed the supposedly popular chips can return them without any problems. No matter whether with or without a receipt, the purchase price will be refunded in every Action branch. The return process is straightforward and ensures that no one is left with the costs.
PepsiCo has also stated that there is currently no immediate cause for panic, although a risk cannot be ruled out when consumed regularly over a long period of time. However, the packets of chips should not be consumed to stay on the safe side. If you have any questions, the PepsiCo hotline is available at +49-6102-5998582.
