ANOTHER Food Recall Has Been Issued Over Tortilla Chips

There’s yet another grocery store item to add to your list of cautionary consumables. A voluntary recall has been issued by Utz Quality Foods, LLC on certain Golden Flake, Good Health, Utz, and Weis brand tortilla chips that may contain an undeclared milk allergen. This comes after last month’s reports of a now-deadlyE. coli outbreak in romaine lettuce affecting at least 13 states. It was followed up by a massive recall on eggs over concerns of salmonella.

So far with this chip recall, no illnesses have been reported, but those will milk allergies could experience dangerous or life-threatening reactions if consumed. Symptoms include hives, wheezing, vomiting, diarrhea, and even anaphylaxis, a reaction which restricts airways and blocks breathing.
