Utz Recalls Select Zapp’s and Dirty Potato Chips Over Possible Salmonella Risk
Utz Quality Foods LLC is voluntarily recalling certain limited varieties of Zapp’s and Dirty potato chips after a possible Salmonella risk was identified, according to the FDA. If you have these chips at home, check the package details before opening another bag.
The recall covers specific products only, not every Zapp’s or Dirty chip. The FDA notice says no illnesses have been reported so far. Shoppers should compare the bag’s UPC, best-by date, and batch code with the recall notice before eating or serving the chips.
What to check
- Brand: Zapp’s and Dirty potato chips
- Company: Utz Quality Foods LLC
- Reason: possible Salmonella risk
- Product identifiers: UPCs, best-by dates, and batch codes listed in the FDA notice
If a bag matches the recalled identifiers, do not eat it. Throw it away or contact the company for refund information, following the instructions in the FDA alert. If you already ate the product and feel sick, contact a health care professional and mention the recall.
The FDA’s recall notice is the best place to verify the exact product details and make sure your bag is included. Check the package carefully, since the recall applies only to the specific limited varieties named in the alert.
For households that buy snacks in bulk or keep chips in the pantry for lunches and parties, this is a good time for a quick shelf check. A few minutes now can help prevent a recalled bag from being served later.
