The chips have been upgraded to a Class I recall, which means there’s a “reasonable” chance that consuming the product could cause illness or death.
A voluntary recall was issued by Utz Quality Foods in May, after learning that a seasoning containing dry milk powder could have potentially contained salmonella.
