Chips Recall Over Salmonella Sparks Highest Risk Warning

Chips Recall Over Salmonella Sparks Highest Risk Warning

Summary

The FDA has issued the highest risk Class I recalls for three types of chips made by Legacy Bakehouse due to possible salmonella contamination. The contamination is linked to a recalled milk powder from California Dairies used in the seasoning for these products.

Key Facts

  • Three chip products by Legacy Bakehouse were recalled: Butter Parsley Bagel Crisps, Parmesan & Herb Bagel Crisps, and Giant Eagle-branded Baked Pita Chips.
  • The recalled products include large 10-pound wholesale cases and smaller retail bags sold in several states.
  • The recall is due to potential salmonella contamination traced to California Dairies milk powder used in the seasoning.
  • The milk powder had been previously recalled for salmonella risk, even though tests on the seasoning blend showed negative results before use.
  • The FDA classifies these recalls as Class I, meaning there is a reasonable chance the products could cause serious health problems or death.
  • Other products including potato chips, snack mixes, and croutons have also been recalled due to the same milk powder issue.
  • Salmonella is a common cause of food poisoning that can be serious, especially for vulnerable people.
