Pringles Brand Potato Crisps Recalled Due to Salmonella Threat

Proctor and Gamble is voluntarily recalling 2 Pringles brand potato crisps due to Salmonella threat after a recommendation by the Food and Drug Administration.

The 2 products involved are Pringles Restaurant Cravers Cheeseburger potato crisps and Pringles Family Faves Taco Night potato crisps.

According to their press release, P & G was notified by one of its suppliers that a seasoning used in these two products contains hydrolyzed vegetable protein (HVP) manufactured by Basic Food Flavors, Inc., who has voluntarily recalled several lots of this ingredient because of potential salmonella exposure.

Salmonella can cause severe illness with fever, abdominal cramps and diarrhea. Cases in young children and the elderly can be life threatening.

Consumers who have purchased either of the 2 Pringles brand potato crisps recalled due to Salmonella should contact Proctor and Gamble for a refund or coupon at 1-877-876-7881.
