Herr's is recalling two types of potato chips due to a potential salmonella risk.

Herr's is recalling two types of potato chips due to a potential salmonella risk.

The company, based in Nottingham, Chester County, said the voluntary recall was for smoked chipotle flavored kettle cooked potato chips, a Herr's brand product, and for the smoke dried chipotle flavored kettle cooked potato chips under the Peddler's Pantry brand.

Those chips were flavored with a chipotle seasoning that contained a milk ingredient that is being recalled due to possible salmonella contamination, Herr's said.

No tests have confirmed the potential salmonella and no illnesses associated with the chips have been reported.

The Herr's smoked chipotle kettle cooked chips being recalled are the 2.625 oz. bags with the UPC number 72600 03339 and best-by dates between Nov. 13, 2016 and March 27, 2017, and the 8 oz. bags with the UPC number 72600 03420 and best-by dates between Nov. 26, 2016, and April 24, 2107.

The Peddler's Pantry smoke dried chipotle kettle cooked chips being recalled are 2 oz. bags with the UPC number 72600 07789 and best-by dates between Dec. 25, 2016, and March 27, 2017.

Salmonella causes an estimated 1 million foodborne illnesses early in the United States, including about 380 deaths, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. People infected commonly develop cramps, diarrhea, fever and other symptoms.
