Utz Recalls Zapp's and Dirty Potato Chips Due to Salmonella Risk
Utz Quality Foods, LLC has issued a recall for certain Zapp's and Dirty brand potato chips due to potential salmonella contamination. The recall, announced on May 4, 2026, affects six types of Zapp's potato chips and three types of Dirty potato chips. The issue arose after it was discovered that the seasoning used in these chips, which contains dry milk powder, might be contaminated with salmonella. Although the affected seasoning batches tested negative for salmonella, Utz has decided to recall the products as a precautionary measure. As of the announcement, there have been no reported illnesses linked to the recalled products. This recall is part of a broader public health alert concerning dry milk powder contamination, which has also affected other food products, including select Mama Cozzi's breakfast pizzas.
