Utz is recalling some "Zapp's" and "Dirty" brand potato chips because of the risk of exposure to salmonella.

The company says seasoning added to the chips, which contained dry milk powder, may have been contaminated with salmonella. The company says its testing of the seasoning was negative for salmonella, but it is recalling the affected flavors out of an abundance of caution.

Affected flavors include Zapp's Bayou Blackened Ranch chips, Dirty Salt and Vinegar chips, and others. The chips were sold nationwide. A full list of the affected flavors and packages is available on the FDA's website.
