Potato chip company, Miss Vickie’s Canada, is recalling certain Original Recipe kettle-cooked chip packages sent to stores — including in Moose Jaw — due to the possible presence of glass in the bags.
The company issued a recall on Nov. 3 after discovering that glass pieces had made their way into 630 bags of Original Recipe chip bags. The recall was initially issued for Ontario, Quebec and Atlantic Canada before the business learned the chip bags had also been distributed to Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba.
Consumers should not consume the chips, while retailers and restaurants must not sell or use the recalled product.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) is conducting a food safety investigation, which may lead to other product recalls. If other high-risk products are recalled, the CFIA will notify the public through updated food recall warnings. The federal agency is also verifying that the food industry is removing the recalled product from the marketplace.
While Miss Vickie’s Canada has said it has not received any customer complaints about the products sent west, the CFIA said on its website that there have been reported injuries associated with the products from the original Eastern Canada recall.
Customers who purchased the chips are not to eat them and either throw them out or return to the place of purchase for a full refund. The bags all come from one SKU of 0 60410 04667 8, so customers should look at the “guaranteed fresh” dates and “manufacturing codes” to identify the bags, the company said. Information on the affected chips is available on the CFIA’s website at www.inspection.gc.ca/eng/.
