Utz Recalls Zapp's, Dirty Chips Over Salmonella Risk
6 May
Summary
- Nationwide recall of Zapp's and Dirty chips due to salmonella risk.
- Dry milk powder in seasoning identified as potential contamination source.
- No illnesses reported, but consumers urged not to eat recalled products.
Utz has initiated a voluntary recall affecting several flavors and bag sizes of Zapp's and Dirty brand potato chips nationwide. This action is a precautionary measure due to the potential presence of salmonella bacteria in a dry milk powder ingredient used in the chip seasoning. While the ingredient supplier's batches tested negative for salmonella before incorporation, Utz is recalling the products out of an abundance of caution.
The recall includes specific flavors and bag sizes of Zapp's and Dirty chips, with best-by dates in July or August of 2026. Consumers who have purchased these recalled chips are advised not to consume them and to contact Utz customer care for a refund or further information. To date, no illnesses have been reported in connection with these recalled products.
