FDA issues recall of chips over contamination with deadly bacteria
"Utz Quality Foods, LLC is issuing a voluntary recall in the US of certain varieties of Zapp's and Dirty potato chips after Utz learned that a seasoning used in the chips containing dry milk powder may contain the bacteria salmonella."
"Salmonella is among the leading causes of foodborne illness in the US, infecting about 1.35 million people every year, the CDC estimates, and leads to 26,500 hospitalizations and 420 deaths."
"Symptoms appear within eight to 72 hours of an infection, and include diarrhea, stomach cramps, fever, nausea and vomiting. In some cases, however, no symptoms appear at all."
"Doctors say that warning signs of the infection generally last a few days to a week and that most patients do not need to see a doctor."
Utz Quality Foods, LLC has voluntarily recalled specific varieties of Zapp's and Dirty potato chips due to potential salmonella contamination linked to a seasoning with dry milk powder. The dry milk powder was sourced from California Dairies, Inc. No illnesses have been reported, and the recall affects nine specific products sold nationwide. Salmonella is a leading cause of foodborne illness, with symptoms including diarrhea and fever, particularly affecting vulnerable populations such as infants and the elderly.
