Popular snack brand recalls these potato chips for salmonella risk

Utz has recalled certain Zapp's and Dirty brand potato chips due to potential salmonella contamination.

Utz Quality Foods, LLC, a subsidiary of Utz Brands, issued a recall on May 4 for six types of Zapp's potato chips and three types of Dirty potato chips because they may contain salmonella.

The recall was issued after Utz received information that the chips' seasoning, made with dry milk powder, may contain the presence of salmonella. The affected seasoning batches tested negative for salmonella, but out of caution, Utz is recalling limited varieties. As of May 4, Utz is not aware of any illnesses related to the recalled products.

Several food products have been recalled or announced as part of a public health alert due to the dry milk powder contamination, including select Mama Cozzi's breakfast pizza, announced in late April. The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service expects more products to be part of the alert, or even recalled, as investigations continue.

What are the symptoms of salmonella consumption?

Consuming food contaminated with salmonella can cause salmonellosis, one of the most common bacterial foodborne illnesses. The most common symptoms of salmonellosis include diarrhea, abdominal cramps and fever.

Salmonellosis symptoms may begin within six hours to six days after consumption and can last 4-7 days. Most people recover from treatment, but older adults, infants and people with weakened immune systems are more likely to develop severe illnesses from salmonellosis.
