Golden Flake, Good Health and Utz tortilla chips recalled
Utz Quality Foods, LLC is voluntarily recalling specific Golden Flake, Good Health and Utz brand tortilla chips because they may contain an undeclared dairy allergen, according to a Department of Defense All Food and Drug Activity message sent May 3. A product with seasonings containing dairy was in close proximity to the tortilla chips, such that cross-contamination could have occurred.
Those with dairy allergies run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume the product.
The Defense Commissary Agency has publicized this withdrawal to all its stores, said Chris Wicker, a public health advisor for DeCA headquarters at Fort Lee, Virginia. Whenever a commissary has a recalled or withdrawn product in its inventory, the product is immediately removed from store shelves.
