Utz Quality Foods, LLC — Class I: 2.0 oz Dirty Sour Cream and Onion Potato Chips, Plastic Bag.
Utz Quality Foods, LLC has initiated a Class I recall for its 2.0 oz Dirty Sour Cream and Onion Potato Chips packaged in plastic bags. The action was taken due to the potential presence of Salmonella in the product.
This recall affects Utz Quality Foods, LLC, retail distributors of the specific 2.0 oz SKU, and quality/compliance teams responsible for pathogen control in snack food manufacturing.
A Class I designation indicates that the FDA believes there is a reasonable probability that exposure to the product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death. The ongoing status suggests that the firm and agency are still actively monitoring the removal of the product from the market. For regulatory professionals, this highlight the critical nature of microbiological testing for dry-seasoned snack products, where ingredients like sour cream and onion powder are historically sensitive to pathogen contamination.
Quality teams should immediately verify if affected lot codes are present in the inventory and initiate standard Class I recall procedures. Operations should review supplier verification programs for seasonings and dry ingredients to assess the risk of Salmonella contamination. Distribution partners must be notified to cease sales and isolate the specific 2.0 oz packaging format.
Class I. Reason: Potential presence of Salmonella.. Product: 2.0 oz Dirty Sour Cream and Onion Potato Chips, Plastic Bag.. Firm: Utz Quality Foods, LLC (Hanover PA United States). Status: Ongoing.
