Two US potato chip brands recalled amid salmonella concerns

Summary

Utz is recalling nine varieties of Zapp’s and Dirty potato chips in the US because they might contain salmonella bacteria from a seasoning ingredient. The recall is a safety step to prevent food poisoning, and consumers are told to throw away the affected chips.

Key Facts

  • Utz voluntarily recalled certain Zapp’s and Dirty potato chip flavors due to possible salmonella contamination.
  • The problem comes from seasoning that includes dry milk powder, which may carry salmonella bacteria.
  • The dry milk powder came from California Dairies Inc and was supplied through another vendor.
  • Nine chip flavors in various bag sizes are included, such as salt and vinegar and sour cream and onion.
  • Consumers should not eat these chips and should discard any they have at home.
  • No other Utz products are part of this recall.
  • Other companies like Ghirardelli and John B Sanfilippo & Son also recalled products linked to the same batch of milk powder.
  • Salmonella bacteria can cause fever, stomach pain, diarrhea, and vomiting, and may be serious for young children and older adults.
