Utz Recalls 684,000 Zapp's and Dirty Chip Bags as FDA Issues Class I Salmonella Alert

Summary
The FDA elevated Utz's May recall to Class I, its most serious level, covering about 684,000 bags of Zapp's and Dirty potato chips sold nationwide over possible salmonella contamination.
Utz said the risk stems from flavored seasoning containing dry milk powder after California Dairies, via a third-party supplier, warned the ingredient could carry salmonella, even though the seasoning tested negative before use.
Affected products include several Zapp's Bayou Blackened Ranch, Salt and Vinegar and Big Cheezy varieties, plus Dirty Sour Cream and Onion, Salt and Vinegar, and Maui Onion chips.
No illnesses have been reported, but the FDA told consumers and retailers not to eat or sell the chips; buyers can discard them and seek refunds through Utz customer care.
