The Food and Drug Administration upgraded a recall of some Utz Quality Foods potato chips to the agency's highest classification risk over a reasonable possibility of salmonella contamination. 

Utz voluntarily recalled certain Zapp's and Dirty brand potato chips that were sold nationwide in May, Fox News reported. The products were recalled after the company discovered that a seasoning ingredient used during production contained dry milk powder that could potentially be contaminated with salmonella.

The FDA issues a Class I recall when there is a reasonable probability that using or being exposed to a product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death.

Select Zapp's Bayou Blackened Ranch, Salt and Vinegar and Big Cheezy potato chips, along with Dirty brand Salt and Vinegar, Maui Onion and Sour Cream and Onion potato chips are covered in the recall. The products covered have "Best By" dates ranging from Aug. 3, 2026, through Aug. 31, 2026.

The products are the only Utz products included in the recall.
