Kettle Voluntarily Recalls Bakes Sea Salt Due To Milk Allergen Concerns
ByKettle Brand is issuing a voluntary recall on a limited run of its 4-ounce Kettle Brand Bakes Sea Salt Potato Chips due to mislabeling, ABC News reported.
The company is recalling the products because of potential exposure to a milk-based sour cream seasoning, a potential milk allergen not declared on the ingredient label, ABC News reported.
As a precaution, Kettle is recalling 144 cases of the product. The chips were distributed to 12 customer warehouses that supply retail stores nationwide.
The 4-ounce Kettle Brand Bakes Sea Salt Potato Chips is the only product impacted and there have been no reports of illnesses or injury.
The affected bags have a UPC code of 84114 10984 2 and a manufacturing code of 09309210, ending with four numbers ranging from 05:00 - 10:30. The sell by date is 01MAY14.
Consumers interested in a replacement or refund are encouraged to contact Consumer Affairs online or by calling 503-364-0399 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Pacific Time, Monday - Friday.
The recall of the potato chips follows several major recalls that have happened recently. Last month, about 34,000 pounds of chicken contaminated with salmonella were recalled by Tyson Foods. That same month, the USDA closed down three of Foster Farm's chicken-processing plants, all of which had been recently connected to another salmonella outbreak, due to a cockroach infestation.
