Select varieties of Zapp\u2019s and Dirty brand potato chips<\/b> are now classified under a Class I recall<\/b>,<\/a> according to the agency\u2019s Office of Inspections and Investigations. This means there\u2019s a \u201creasonable probability that the use of or exposure to a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death.\u201d<\/p>\n

The recall involves millions of bags sold at major grocery stores including Publix, Harris Teeter and Food Lion.<\/b> Smaller packages were also sold at convenience store chains like 7Eleven, according to Utz\u2019s product locator.<\/a><\/p>\n

It comes nearly two months after parent company Utz Quality Foods voluntarily recalled the popular snacks after it learned a flavor seasoning containing dry milk power could be tainted with salmonella bacteria, CharlotteFive previously reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So far, no illnesses have been reported, the FDA said.<\/p>\n

The nationwide recall involves nine limited varieties<\/b> of Zapp\u2019s and Dirty Brand potato chips with \u201cbest by\u201d dates between July 27 and Aug. 31,<\/b> according to the recall notice.<\/p>\n
