Potato chip recall upgraded to highest FDA risk level over salmonella concerns

A recall of certain Zapp's and Dirty brand potato chips has been upgraded to the FDA's most serious risk level over possible salmonella contamination.

The chips were initially recalled in May by Utz Quality Foods. The Food and Drug Administration has now classified it as a Class I recall. This means there is a reasonable probability that consuming the product could cause serious health problems or death.

Officials say anyone who has the affected chips should not eat them and should throw them away.

The recalled products include:

• 1.5oz Zapp's Brand Bayou Blackened Ranch Potato Chips
• 2.5oz Zapp's Brand Bayou Blackened Ranch Potato Chips
• 8oz Zapp's Brand Bayou Blackened Ranch Potato Chips
• 2oz Dirty Brand Salt and Vinegar Potato Chips
• 1.5oz Zapp's Brand Salt and Vinegar Potato Chips (60ct)
• 2oz Dirty Brand Maui Onion Potato Chip
• 2.5oz Zapp's Brand Big Cheezy Potato Chip
• 8oz Zapp's Brand Big Cheezy Potato Chip
• 2oz Dirty Brand Sour Cream and Onion Potato Chips
