Why this matters in Frisco News
For Frisco residents who enjoy Utz potato chips, the FDA's recall of certain Dirty and Zapp's brand chips due to potential salmonella contamination is a concern. The recall affects over 650,000 bags of chips, including several flavors of Zapp's and Dirty chips. While Utz has stated that no illnesses have been reported in connection with the recalled chips, the FDA's classification of the recall as a Class 1 designation indicates a serious risk to public health. Frisco consumers who have purchased these products should check the UPC codes and best-by dates to determine if they are affected by the recall. Local grocery stores and retailers will likely be removing the recalled products from their shelves, and consumers can also contact Utz directly for more information on the recall and how to obtain a refund.
