Workers at the Better Made Snack Foods factory in Detroit have been sent home after an explosion in the oil heating process for potato chips shook parts of the building.
Company Chief Executive Salvatore Cipriano says it appears pressure built up in a heat exchanger in one of the east side factory's four fryers about 9:30 a.m. Thursday.
Cipriano says no one was injured and production was expected to continue after the weekend.
