Check Your Pantry for Recalled Jalapeno Chips

Most Texans could probably polish off an entire bag of spicy chips in one sitting without thinking twice, but before you dig in to some certain jalapeno chips, you might want to check to make sure they're not on the recall list.  

Frito-Lay is recalling several kinds of its jalapeno chips over worries about salmonella.  The recall is out of an abundance of caution the company says on NBC-DFW though there hasn't been a reported case yet. The company that supplied the jalapeno powder recalled the product, so Frito-Lay had to do the same thing.

I can hear you tough guys saying you'll just throw caution to the wind and attack that bag anyway, but taking it back to the store for a refund would be the smarter option. Just in case.

These are the chips that have been recalled according to CNN:

• Jalapeño Flavored Lay’s Kettle Cooked potato chips
• Jalapeño Flavored Miss Vickie’s Kettle Cooked potato chips

They've got a “guaranteed fresh” date of July 4th.

There are also some multipacks that have a “use by” date of June 20th and a “guaranteed fresh” date of July 4th.

• 12 count Lay’s Kettle Cooked Multipack Sack
• 20 count Frito-Lay Bold Mix Sack
• 30 count Miss Vickie’s Multipack Tray
• 30 count Lay’s Kettle Cooked Multipack Tray
• 32 count Miss Vickie’s Multipack Box

If you're going to get sick from salmonella, the FDA says that will happen 12-to-72 hours after eating contaminated food. So if you ate some chips over the weekend, you're probably free of salmonella worries by now.

The good news is, the cheesy chips and the barbecue flavors are in the clear.  And we're sure they'll have the jalapenos straightened out in time for your Memorial Day Weekend barbecue.  Hang in there.
