(Beaver County, PA) A massive recall of potato chips has now been classified as a Class I recall, which is the highest classification of a recall where “a situation in which there is a reasonable probability that the use of or exposure to a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death.” The Food and Drug Administration stated this week that 684,248 bags of Zapps and Dirty brand chips were recalled because of the potential presence of Salmonella. This recall was initially issued in April and was due to a seasoning containing dry milk powder from California Dairies, Inc., which was supplied by a third party. The FDA noted last month that the seasoning tested negative for Salmonella, but Utz recalled the chips out of an abundance of caution.

The following products are part of the recall:

• Zapp’s Bayou Blackened Ranch Kettle Chips, 1.5oz bags, code information 83791272917
• Zapp’s Brand Bayou Blackened Ranch Potato Chips, 2.5oz and 8oz bags, code information 83791272924 or 83791272931
• Dirty Brand Salt and Vinegar Potato Chips, 1.5oz, 2oz bags, code information 83791520148, 26030070101 or 26036070102
• Dirty Maui Onion Chip, 2.0 oz bags, code information 26052070103
• Zapp’s Big Cheezy Potato Chips, 1.5oz, 8.0oz bags, code information 26058070104 or 26059070104
• Dirty Sour Cream and Onion Potato Chips, 2.0 oz bags, code information not available.

The FDA advised back in May that consumers should not eat the chips and discard them.

They were sold in these states:

• Alabama
• Arkansas
• Arizona
• California
• Colorado
• Connecticut
• Florida
• Georgia
• Iowa
• Illinois
• Indiana
• Kentucky
• Louisiana
• Massachusetts
• Maryland
• Maine
• Michigan
• Minnesota
• Mississippi
• North Carolina
• New Jersey
• Nevada
• New York
• Ohio
• Oklahoma
• Oregon
• Pennsylvania
• South Carolina
• Tennessee
• Texas
• Virginia
• Vermont
• Wisconsin

You can call Utz at 877-423-0149 for more information about the recall.

(Washington, D.C.) Congressman Chris Deluzio spoke out against a bill which he notes would cut benefits for military veterans. He joined with colleagues and union representatives in Washington, D.C. yesterday to go against this legislation, which would reduce and remove benefits for over 150 million veterans and cut $57 billion in future disability payments in the next ten years. Deluzio is a veteran himself and is against legislation that would make significant cuts to the VA home loan benefit, remove protections in the workplace, make it easier to reduce levels of staffing that are already low, and take a bigger step in privatizing VA medical care.

Martha Reeves, the legendary Motown powerhouse whose timeless hits with Martha Reeves & The Vandellas include “Dancing in the Street,” “Heat Wave,” “Jimmy Mack,” and “Nowhere to Run,” appeared Friday on the Beaver County Radio Morning Show.

Reeves spoke about her new single, “”To Know You Is to Love You,” released earlier that morning.

Here is what Reeves had to say (just press play):

Reeves not only helped define American music, but laid the foundation for generations of female superstars who followed, from Beyoncé to Lady Gaga sighting her as an influence.

Now, after more than two decades, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame icon is returning with her first new album at nearly 85 years old, proving her influence, voice, and cultural impact are as powerful as ever.
