Utz Recalls Select Zapp’s and Dirty Chips Over Possible Salmonella

Overview

• Utz, which posted the recall Monday on the FDA site, is pulling limited Zapp’s and Dirty potato chips sold nationwide.
• The action targets specific flavors and sizes, including Zapp’s Bayou Blackened Ranch, Salt & Vinegar, and Big Cheezy, plus Dirty Salt & Vinegar, Maui Onion, and Sour Cream & Onion.
• The company says a seasoning that used California Dairies milk powder may carry Salmonella even though the seasoning batches tested negative before use.
• No illnesses have been reported, and consumers should discard affected bags and contact Utz Customer Care for refunds.
• The ingredient issue has also led to recalls at other brands such as Ghirardelli powdered beverage mixes, signaling possible ripple effects across supply chains.
