Frito-Lay has issued a voluntary recall for both its jalapeño-flavored Lay's and Miss Vickie's kettle cooked potato chips. The company says there is potentially salmonella in the seasoning.
The U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) says salmonella can cause serious and occasionally fatal infections for young children, elderly people or those with compromised immune systems.
The FDA released the following information on the items affected by the recall:

All of the following multipack offerings that have a “use by” date of JUN 20 or prior printed on the multipack package. In addition, a “guaranteed fresh” date of JUL 4 or prior is printed on the front upper panel of the individual recalled product packages inside each multipack offering. Any other products or flavors contained in these multipacks are not being recalled.
