ALERT: ONE OF AMERICA’S MOST POPULAR POTATO CHIP BRANDS JUST ISSUED MASSIVE RECALL- THROW THEM AWAY NOW

This is a health hazard situation where there is a reasonable probability that the use of the product can cause serious, adverse health consequences.

Frito-Lay Recalls Jalapeño Flavored Lay’s Kettle Cooked Potato Chips and Jalapeño Flavored Miss Vickie’s Kettle Cooked Potato Chips Due to Potential Presence ofSalmonella.

Most people do not associate Salmonella with chips, but the bacteria is not limited to raw meats. In this case, the Salmonella could be found in the seasoning sprinkled on the chips.

If you experience any of the symptoms of Salmonella poisoning (stomach cramps, diarrhea, nausea, fever, and vomiting) for more than a few days, please consult a primary care physician or urgent care clinic. The elderly, children, and anyone with a weak immunity system should consult a doctor immediately if these symptoms arise. Waiting too long to treat an infection could worsen the situation and lead to more serious illnesses.

It should be noted that the recall is not related to any other Frito-Lay products. The Salmonella was reportedly traced to the seasoning provided by a third party. It is not the result of any of Frito-Lay’s practices. The recall of the seasoning was initiated by the supplier, and Frito-Lay decided to recall their chips as a precaution.

Here is the recall notice from Frito-Lay.

For Immediate Release 

April 21, 2017

Frito-Lay today announced it is voluntarily recalling select Jalapeño Flavored Lay’s Kettle Cooked potato chips and Jalapeño Flavored Miss Vickie’s Kettle Cooked potato chips due to the potential presence of Salmonella in the seasoning.

Salmonella is an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems.

Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. In rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis and arthritis.

This action is the direct result of a supplier’s recent recall of a seasoning blend which includes jalapeño powder that could contain Salmonella. Although no Salmonella was found in the seasoning supplied to Frito-Lay, the company has decided to recall these products out of an abundance of caution.

No illness related to this matter has been confirmed to date.

The products covered by this recall were distributed in retail stores and via foodservice, vending and other channels throughout the U.S.
