To be clear, there's actually no reports of problems with either of the chip products recalled by Frito-Lay. However, with recalls and reports of contamination being issued every few months, this is getting pretty scary!
While it is not 100 percent confirmed, there is a chance Salmonella could be in the seasoning of the jalapeño-flavored Lay's Kettle Cooked potato chips and jalapeño-flavored Miss Vickie's Kettle Cooked potato chips. The potential contamination came to light after Frito-Lay's supplier for the seasoning blend issued a recall on their flavoring product.
The recalled packets have a “guaranteed fresh” date of July 4 or prior for regular-sized bags and “use by” date of June 20 or prior for the chips in multi-packs. In the U.S. the products were dispersed to “retail stores and via foodservice, vending, and other channels.”
“This action is the direct result of a supplier's recent recall of a seasoning blend which includes jalapeño powder that could contain Salmonella,” Frito-Lay says.
The company did stress that no salmonella was found in the seasoning Frito-Lay received from the supplier, but the company decided to issue the recall as a precaution. Call a Frito-Lay rep at 866-272-9393 from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. EST or visit www.jalapenochiprecall.com for reimbursement.
