Popular potato chips recalled due to salmonella fears

Utz Quality Foods is recalling certain Zapp’s and Dirty brand potato chips that were sold at retail stores nationwide, the Food and Drug Administration said.

The voluntary recall follows a notification to the company that a seasoning containing dry milk powder may contain the presence of salmonella. It was sourced from California Dairies Inc. and supplied by a third party.

The FDA said the affected seasoning batches tested negative for salmonella prior to use, but Utz is recalling the limited varieties of chips out of an abundance of caution. The company is recalling the products based on the ingredient supplier’s recall.

No other products produced by Utz Quality Foods are affected, and “We are working in coordination with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on this recall,” the company told FOX Business in a statement.

Utz has not received any complaints of illness in connection with the recalled products. Customers who have the affected products should not eat them and should discard them.
