HANOVER, Pa., July 3 (Our New York News) — New York shoppers who bought certain Zapp’s and Dirty potato chips should not eat them and should discard them, after the FDA upgraded the products’ recall to its highest risk level over a possible salmonella contamination.
The FDA said a Class I recall is used when there is a reasonable probability that exposure to a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death.
Utz, the maker of the chips, said in May that it issued the recall “from an abundance of caution” after identifying a potential problem tied to dry milk powder from a third-party supplier used in a seasoning ingredient.
Utz said at the time that no salmonella had been found in its products and that no illnesses had been reported to the company in connection with the recalled chips.
The recalled products were sold in multiple states, including New York, according to FDA recall materials, and the classification appears in the agency’s latest weekly enforcement report.
