An estimated 650,000 bags of potato chips are affected as US agency upgraded recall of several popular brands
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has upgraded a recall of several popular brands of potato chips to its most serious level because of the risk of salmonella contamination.
Manufacturer Utz issued a voluntary recall in May for varieties of its Zapp’s and Dirty potato chips products, citing the possible presence of salmonella in dry milk powder sourced from a third party used to make a seasoning ingredient.
An estimated 650,000 bags of chips with best by dates ranging from 27 July to 31 August were believed to be affected. In its most recent weekly enforcement report, published Friday, the FDA gave the recall a Class 1 designation, its highest level.
The affected products are: Zapp’s Brand Bayou Blackened Ranch Potato Chips (1.5oz), Zapp’s Brand Bayou Blackened Ranch Potato Chips (2.5oz), Zapp’s Brand Bayou Blackened Ranch Potato Chips (8oz), Dirty Brand Salt and Vinegar Potato Chips (2oz), Zapp’s Brand Salt and Vinegar Potato Chips (1.5oz), Dirty Brand Maui Onion Potato Chip (2oz), Zapp’s Brand Big Cheezy Potato Chip (2.5oz), Zapp’s Brand Big Cheezy Potato Chip (8oz), and Dirty Brand Sour Cream and Onion Potato Chips (2oz).
If you read the article, the brand in the photo is called Dirty - which is one of the brands from Utz that’s impacted by this recall.
But, the point is those aren’t Utz brand chips in the photo that’s in this post. OP probably just added a link and Lemmy grabbed the image from the site. The site either changed the photo or is misconfigured to deliver the wrong photo.
Yes it is Utz brand - specifically Dirty brand chips, which is one of the brands affected by the recall.
Utz branded chips aren’t affected, but some of their sub brands, such as Dirty, are.
“Dirty” is one of those affected brands, the photo shows a bag of Dirty brand chips.
I believe they were talking about this photo that shows up on Lemmy:
The skulls in this thread are so dense they’re about to go supernova.
Yes that’s right. And I read the article
There are two photos, the one at the top of the article now with Dirty chips, and the one that lemmy grabbed with Pepsico brands of chips like Lays and Doritos with the Guardian logo on it, so it’s coming from the Guardian somehow.
Neither photo shows Zapp’s brand chips.
Your argument is that the parent company owns both brands… So you would be fine with the photo showing bottles of Pepsi or packs of Jacks Links jerky if the article was exclusively about Lay’s potato chips? Those are all owned by Pepsico of course, so it’s the same right?
