(WTVF) — The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has upgraded a recall of more than 650,000 bags of Zapp's and Dirty potato chips to its highest warning level over potential salmonella contamination.
The Class I recall means there is a reasonable chance that consuming the products could cause serious illness or death.
The recalled chips were sold nationwide and include several Zapp's and Dirty brand flavors:
| Product | Size(s) | Best By date(s) |
|---|---|---|
| Zapp's Bayou Blackened Ranch | 1.5 oz | Aug. 3, 10, 17, 24, 2026 |
| 2.5 oz | Aug. 3, 17, 31, 2026 | |
| 8 oz | July 27; Aug. 3, 10, 17, 2026 | |
| Zapp's Salt and Vinegar (60-count) | 1.5 oz bags | Aug. 3, 10, 2026 |
| Zapp's Big Cheezy | 2.5 oz, 8 oz | Aug. 31, 2026 |
| Dirty Salt and Vinegar | 2 oz | Aug. 3, 10, 2026 |
| Dirty Maui Onion | 2 oz | Aug. 8, 2026 |
| Dirty Sour Cream and Onion | 2 oz | Aug. 31, 2026 |
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 said no illnesses have been reported.
Consumers are urged not to eat the recalled chips. They should throw them away or contact Utz for a refund.
