Popular potato chips are being recalled nationwide as salmonella fears spread to more products

Another major food brand is voluntarily recalling products after potential salmonella contamination linked to milk powder.

Utz Quality Foods LLC, a subsidiary of Pennsylvania-based Utz Brands Inc, recalled some varieties of its Zapp’s and Dirty potato chips. The impacted chips’ seasoning contained dry milk powder manufactured by food producer California Dairies, which might be contaminated with salmonella.

That’s according to a recall notice posted Monday by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

“The affected seasoning batches tested negative for Salmonella prior to use; however, out of an abundance of caution, Utz is recalling the limited varieties of Zapp’s and Dirty brand potato chips identified below,” the company stated in its FDA announcement. 

The news comes one week after California-based Ghirardelli Chocolate Company recalled a range of powdered beverage mixes. The mixes also contained milk powder from California Dairies that might have salmonella contamination. 

In both cases, the milk powders were supplied to a third-party manufacturer for inclusion in the products. No related illnesses had been reported at the time of Utz’s or Ghiardelli’s notices. 

Fast Company has reached out to California Dairies for comment and will update this post if we hear back. 

Which products are affected?

Utz has recalled a limited number of Zapp’s and Dirty brand chips, as detailed below:

Where was the product sold? 

The impacted UTZ chips are sold at retail stores nationwide. The notice does not list specific retailers. 

What should I do if I have this product?

You shouldn’t consume any of the recalled products. Discard them and, if you’re interested in a refund, contact Utz’s customer care. 

What salmonella symptoms should I look out for? 

Have you already eaten the chips? Just in case, it’s good to have an idea of symptoms of a salmonella infection. It can cause things such as fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. Young children, the elderly, and individuals with weak immune systems are at greater risk of a serious infection.

You can find more information on the Cleveland Clinic’s website.
