Utz Recalls Zapp’s and Dirty Potato Chips Over Salmonella Risk

Utz Quality Foods has issued a voluntary nationwide recall of several varieties of its Zapp’s and Dirty potato chips after a third‑party supplier warned that a seasoning ingredient containing dry milk powder may be contaminated with Salmonella. The FDA was notified on May 4 (2026 in the reports) and advised consumers not to eat the affected products and to discard them or return them for a refund. No illnesses have been reported.

The recall covers specific flavors such as Bayou Blackened Ranch, Big Cheezy, Salt & Vinegar, Maui Onion and Sour Cream & Onion, sold in various bag sizes. The seasoning was sourced from California Dairies, Inc. and the company is taking precautionary action despite pre‑production testing showing no contamination. Consumers can call Utz Customer Care at 1‑877‑423‑0149 for questions.

The FDA statement reads: “Consumers who have these products should not eat them and should discard any products they may have.”
