A recall of certain Zapp’s and Dirty brand potato chips has been upgraded to the FDA’s most serious risk level over possible salmonella contamination.

The chips were initially recalled in May by Utz Quality Foods. The Food and Drug Administration has now classified it as a Class I recall. This means there is a reasonable probability that consuming the product could cause serious health problems or death.

Officials say anyone who has the affected chips should not eat them and should throw them away.

The recalled products include:

  • 1.5-ounce Zapp’s Bayou Blackened Ranch Kettle Chips (UPC: 83791272917)
  • 2.5-ounce and 8-ounce Zapp’s Bayou Blackened Ranch Potato Chips (UPCs: 83791272924 and 83791272931)
  • 1.5-ounce and 2-ounce Dirty Brand Salt and Vinegar Potato Chips (UPCs: 83791520148, 26030070101 and 26036070102)
  • 2-ounce Dirty Maui Onion Chips (UPC: 26052070103)
  • 1.5-ounce and 8-ounce Zapp’s Big Cheezy Potato Chips (UPCs: 26058070104 and 26059070104)
