Frito-Lay is voluntarily recalling some of their Jalapeño Flavored Lay’s Kettle Cooked potato chips and Jalapeño Flavored Miss Vickie’s Kettle Cooked potato chips due to the potential presence of Salmonella in the seasoning. Jalapeño powder provided by a supplier could contain Salmonella bacteria. No Salmonella was found in the seasoning supplied to Frito-Lay, but the company has decided to recall the products. No illnesses have been confirmed to date in connection with this issue.
The recalled products have a “guaranteed fresh” date of JUL 4 or before printed on the front upper panel of the package. All of the multipack offerings recalled have a “use by” date of JUN 20 or before. And a “guaranteed fresh” date of JUL 4 or before is printed on the front upper panel of the individual recalled product packages inside each multipack.
