Miss Vickie’s Canada is recalling Miss Vickie’s brand Jalapeño Kettle Cooked Potato Chips from the marketplace due to possible salmonella contamination.
Canadian Food Inspection Agency officials say consumers should not consume the recalled products described below:\
“If you think you became sick from consuming a recalled product, call your doctor,” Canadian Food Inspection Agency officials said.
“Check to see if you have recalled products in your home. Recalled products should be thrown out or returned to the store where they were purchased. Food contaminated with Salmonella may not look or smell spoiled but can still make you sick. Young children, pregnant women, the elderly and people with weakened immune systems may contract serious and sometimes deadly infections. Healthy people may experience short-term symptoms such as fever, headache, vomiting, nausea, abdominal cramps and diarrhea. Long-term complications may include severe arthritis.”
This recall was triggered by the company, Canadian Food Inspection Agency officials said.
The agency is conducting a food safety investigation, which may lead to the recall of other products.
If other high-risk products are recalled, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency will notify the public through updated Food Recall Warnings.
The agency is verifying that industry is removing recalled products from the marketplace.
There have been no reported illnesses associated with the consumption of these products.
