Utz Quality Foods Recalls Potato Chips Nationwide Over Salmonella Concerns
Utz Quality Foods LLC has initiated a voluntary recall of certain varieties of its Dirty and Zapp’s brand potato chips due to potential salmonella contamination. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced the recall, which affects products that may have been contaminated by a seasoning sourced from California Dairies, Inc. The seasoning, containing dry milk powder, was supplied by a third party and tested negative for salmonella before use. Despite this, Utz is recalling the products as a precautionary measure. The recall includes specific product names, sizes, UPC numbers, best by dates, and batch codes. No illnesses have been reported in connection with the recall. Consumers are advised to discard the affected products and contact Utz’s customer care for further information. Retailers are also instructed to ensure these products are not available for purchase.
