Learn more about this recall, its potential health implications, and how to ensure your safety.
## Why This Recall is Important
Salmonella is a dangerous bacteria that can cause severe health issues. Infection with **Salmonella** often results in symptoms such as:
- Fever
- Diarrhea (sometimes bloody)

While **no illnesses have been reported** related to this recall, Legacy Snack Solutions and Giant Eagle are taking proactive measures to ensure public safety.
This recall stems from a broader concern surrounding a **California Dairies, Inc. milk powder recall**, as the milk powder is a key ingredient in the seasoning blend used on these pita chips. Although the affected seasoning batches initially tested negative for **Salmonella**, this recall is being initiated out of an abundance of caution.
