Herr's issued Recall of Select Bags of 1.875 oz. Sour Cream and Onion Potato Chips with Packaging Error

Herr Foods Inc. has initiated a voluntary recall of certain bags of its 1.875 oz. Sour Cream and Onion Potato Chip due to a packaging error that incorrectly states that the product is gluten free.

While the back panel of the package complies with U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) label regulations by listing “Wheat” in the ingredient statement as well as “Contains Wheat” in its related allergen statement, the front panel of the package erroneously features the words “Gluten Free.” Gluten is the protein that naturally occurs in wheat, rye, barley, and crossbreeds of these grains. Most people can eat gluten, but in people with celiac disease, gluten intake gradually damages the intestines, prevents the absorption of vitamins and minerals, and can lead to other health problems. Symptoms can include diarrhea, fatigue, headaches, abdominal pain, brain fog, rashes, nausea, vomiting, and other reactions. Herr’s has not received any reported illnesses to date.

Herr’s Sour Cream & Onion Potato Chips, 1.875 oz. bags only, were distributed nationwide through retail stores, distributors, and internet sales. These products were sold as individual bags. No other bag sizes of Herr’s Sour Cream ‘N Onion Chips are involved with this recall. No other Herr’s products are involved with this recall.
