Potato chip recall classified to highest risk category

(CNN)– The FDA has upgraded a recall of hundreds of thousands of bags of Zapp’s and Dirty potato chips to its highest warning level.

The class one recall means there’s a “reasonable” chance that consuming the products could cause serious illness or death.

Utz Quality Foods voluntarily recalled the chips in May after learning a seasoning ingredient made with dry milk powder could potentially contain salmonella.

The company says no illnesses have been reported.

The recalled chips were sold nationwide and include several Zapp’s and Dirty brand flavors.

Consumers are urged not to eat the chips and should throw them away or contact Utz for a refund.
