The brief

Food and Drug Administration has reclassified a recall of a widely‑sold potato chip brand to Class I, its most serious category, because of potential salmonella contamination. Multiple outlets—including Yahoo, MySA, WKRC, USA Today, WGAL and ABC7 Los Angeles—report the upgrade, describe the chips as produced by a massive snack company, and highlight the health risk associated with the alleged bacterial presence.

Future coverage should monitor additional FDA statements, any expanded product withdrawals and guidance issued to consumers on how to handle the recalled chips.
