Frito-Lay has voluntarily recalled select Jalapeno Flavored Lay’s Kettle Cooked potato chips and Jalapeno Flavored Miss Vickie’s Kettle Cooked potato chips. The reason for the recall is that there may be a presence of Salmonella in the seasoning.
The action comes following a supplier’s recent recall of a seasoning blend which includes jalapeno powder that could contain Salmonella.
No Salmonella was found in the seasoning supplied to Frito-Lay however, the company has decided to recall these products out of an abundance of caution, says the FDA.
