The recall of a popular chip brand over salmonella concerns was recently upgraded to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s highest level, just ahead of the Fourth of July holiday and countless backyard barbecues.
On June 24, the FDA designated the recall of several varieties of Zapp’s and Dirty brand potato chips as Class I, meaning it’s “a situation in which there is a reasonable probability that the use of or exposure to a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death.”
FDA has classified the following items as Class I:
Zapps
- 1.5-ounce Zapp’s Bayou Blackened Ranch Kettle Chips
- 2.5- and 8-ounce Zapp’s Bayou Blackened Ranch Potato Chips
- 1.5- and 8-ounce Zapp’s Big Cheezy Potato Chips
Dirty
- 1.5- and 2-ounce Dirty Brand Salt and Vinegar Potato Chips
- 2-ounce Dirty Maui Onion Chips
- 2-ounce Dirty Sour Cream and Onion Potato Chips
The chips are produced by Utz Quality Foods, LLC, which on April 28 issued a recall after learning “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.”
Salmonella can lead to sometimes deadly infections in elderly people, young children and those with weakened immune systems, according to the FDA.
More than 680,000 bags are included in the recall.
Anyone who has these products should not eat them and should discard them immediately.
What to look for
Salmonella is a foodborne illness that can be fatal to young children, pregnant women, older adults and people with weakened immune systems, according to the National Institutes of Health.
Symptoms may develop 12 to 72 hours after infection, according to the FDA.
The FDA said that people with strong immune systems infected with salmonella may experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. The illness can last four to seven days.
In rare cases, the infection may produce more severe illnesses such as arterial infections, endocarditis and arthritis, the agency added.
What to do if infected
If you contract salmonella, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention recommends drinking plenty of fluids to prevent dehydration.
The CDC advises consulting a doctor before taking antidiarrheal medicine or antibiotics. If severe symptoms continue after two days, seek medical help, the agency says.
Because those with diarrhea can spread salmonella to others, it’s also recommended to avoid sharing food or preparing meals for others, sexual contact and swimming in public pools, and to stay home while sick.
