8 ON YOUR SIDE CONSUMER ALERT: Utz recalls some Zapp’s and Dirty brand potato chips

8 ON YOUR SIDE CONSUMER ALERT (WAKA) – Utz has issued a voluntary recall of some flavors of Zapp’s and Dirty potato chips.

This recall follows notification to Utz that a seasoning containing dry milk powder, sourced from California Dairies, Inc. and supplied by a third-party supplier, may contain the presence of salmonella.

Utz says the affected seasoning batches tested negative for salmonella prior to use; however, out of an abundance of caution, Utz is recalling the limited varieties of Zapp’s and Dirty brand potato chips identified below.

Salmonella is an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. In rare circumstances, infection with salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections, endocarditis and arthritis.

There have been no reports of illness.

Consumers who have these products should not eat them and should discard any products they may have. For questions or refunds, consumers may contact the Utz Customer Care team email or call 1-877-423-0149, Monday through Friday from 9AM-6PM Eastern Time.
