Miss Vickie’s has voluntarily recalled its jalapeno-flavoured kettle cooked potato chips, due to the potential presence of salmonella in the seasoning which was used in the product.
The company says that the recall is the result of a supplier’s recent recall of a seasoning blend, which includes jalapeno powder that could possibly contain salmonella.
The company says no salmonella was found in the seasoning supplied to Miss Vickie’s, however it decided out of an abundance of caution, to recall the product.
The recall covers only jalapeno-flavoured Miss Vickie’s kettle cooked potato chips with “Guaranteed Fresh” dates of June 20 or earlier. It comes in 40-gram bags with UPC code 060410001769, 66-gram bags with UPC 060410017142, and 220-gram bags with UPC 060410066386.
What is Salmonella?
Salmonella is a bacterium which can cause diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps.
The company says that no illnesses related to the seasoning have been reported. They are working with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency to ensure the products are removed from the marketplace and no longer distributed.
