Even potato chips are a problem

The Guardian -   The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has upgraded a recall of several popular brands of potato chips to its most serious level because of the risk of salmonella contamination. Manufacturer Utz issued a voluntary recall in May for varieties of its Zapp’s and Dirty potato chips products, citing the possible presence of salmonella in dry milk powder sourced from a third party used to make a seasoning ingredient. An estimated 650,000 bags of chips with best by dates ranging from 27 July to 31 August were believed to be affected.

 In its most recent weekly enforcement report, published on Friday, the FDA gave the recall a Class 1 designation, its highest level.

 The classification is issued for “a situation in which there is a reasonable probability that the use of, or exposure to, a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death,” according to the administration…
