Company Announcement



HANOVER, PA. (BUSINESS WIRE) – Utz Quality Foods, LLC., is issuing a voluntary recall for 88 cases of Utz® 2.75 oz. Wavy Original Potato Chips due to an undeclared milk allergen.

People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to milk may run the risk of an allergic reaction if they consume these products.

The items subject to this voluntary recall were distributed to retail outlets only in New York State and primarily within New York City.

**NO ILLNESSES ASSOCIATED WITH THIS VOLUNTARY RECALL HAVE BEEN REPORTED TO DATE.**

The items and related expiration dates being voluntarily recalled include:
