Frito-Lay Recalls Jalapeno Chips

Frito-Lay released a statement which explains that they are withdrawing their Jalapeno Flavored Lay’s potato chips and Jalapeno Flavored Miss Vickie’s potato chips due to presence of salmonella.

They suspect that the seasoning in these two types of potato chips might contain salmonella which is really dangerous and can cause serious health issues.

So far there is no report from the FDA in regards to this statement released by the company, but it is expected soon to report on this issue.

The additional tests made by Frito-Lay found the presence of salmonella in the jalapeno powder, and decided to recall all seasoning blend products. Also all suppliers have been informed and need to recall the Jalapeno chips.

Those people that might have already consumed these products should be aware of the symptoms the bacteria cause. Some of those symptoms are vomiting, diarrhea, nausea and fever.

Other people might experience headache, cramps in the abdominal area, and loss of appetite. The first symptoms people will experience within 12-72 hours after they get infected, and might last between 4 and 7 days.

There are some cases which salmonella cause serious health issues.
