Legacy Snack Solutions Recalls Pita Chips Due to Salmonella Risk

Shoppers at Giant Eagle won't find this pita chip flavor on its shelves for a while. Legacy Snack Solutions has issued a voluntary recall of certain batches of Giant Eagle Baked Pita Chips with Parmesan, Garlic & Herb due to a risk of Salmonella contamination. The recall comes hot on the heels of the California Diaries, Inc. milk powder recall for the same reason. This milk powder was "supplied to a third-party manufacturer of a seasoning blend, and that blend may be present on the surface" of the pita chips.

While they initially tested negative for Salmonella "prior to use," Legacy Snack Solutions has pulled the product as a precaution. So far, zero illnesses have been reported. Those who have since purchased the chips are urged by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) not to consume them. You can get a refund or a replacement by snapping a picture of the barcode and the "Best If Used By" date before taking your receipt to the store of purchase. You can also call Legacy Snack Solutions' customer care line at 1-800-532-6120 to receive a credit.

The pita chips were distributed and sold exclusively to Giant Eagle and Market District locations in Indiana, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and West Virginia. The FDA has stated that the recall of the Giant Eagle Baked Pita Chips with Parmesan, Garlic & Herb is limited to the following batches:

Per the FDA, here's what Salmonella is and what kinds of symptoms it produces:

"Salmonella is an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. In rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis, and arthritis."
