Utz has recalled certain Zapp’s and Dirty brand potato chips due to possible salmonella contamination.
On May 4, Utz Quality Foods, LLC, a subsidiary of Utz Brands, announced a recall of six types of Zapp’s potato chips and three types of Dirty potato chips because they may contain salmonella.
The recall was announced after Utz received information that the condiment in chips made with dried milk powder may contain salmonella. Tests for Salmonella on the affected batches of seasonings were negative, but Utz is cautious and is recalling limited varieties. As of May 4, Utz is not aware of any outbreaks of illness associated with the recalled products.

What symptoms will I experience if I ingest Salmonella?
Ingesting food contaminated with salmonella can lead to salmonellosis, one of the most common bacterial food poisonings. The most common symptoms of salmonellosis include diarrhea, abdominal pain, and fever.
Symptoms of salmonellosis begin within 6 hours to 6 days after ingestion and may last 4 to 7 days. Most people recover with treatment, but older adults, young children, and people with weakened immune systems are more likely to develop serious illness from salmonellosis.
