Nacho Cheese Flavored Chips Recalled After Incorrect Chips Packaged Resulting in Undeclared Allergens

Frito-Lay has issued a voluntary recall of a limited number – less than 7,000 bags – of 14.5 oz and 1 oz Doritos Nacho Cheese Flavored Tortilla Chips that may contain undeclared soy and wheat ingredients from spicy sweet chili tortilla chips.  The products covered by this recall were distributed at retail stores only in Pennsylvania and other outlets.

So it seems that sweet chili tortilla chips, with their soy and wheat ingredients, were filled into bags of nacho cheese flavored chips.  This created an issue for undeclared allergens.
