The Lay's recall may cause a temporary decline in sales and brand reputation for Frito-Lay. However, the impact on the company's overall stock may be mitigated if consumers continue to trust the brand after resolving the issue. Additionally, other products within the Frito-Lay portfolio could see stock stability or potential gains as this situation is addressed and market responses evaluated.
