Proctor & Gamble has announced a recall of Pringles. The recall affects two flavors of the popular stacked potato chips: Restaurant Cravers Cheeseburger and Family Faves Taco Night.
The Pringles recall stems from it's use of a flavor enhancer HVP (hydrolyzed vegetable protein) made by Basic Food Flavors, Inc., which the FDA believes may have been contaminated by salmonella.
Consumers who believe they have purchased contaminated Pringles should check to see if the product has a "Best by" 2011 stamp. If so you should throw out the product and call Proctor & Gamble at 1-877-876-7881 to get a refund or replacement coupon.
Pringles is just one of a number of processed food products that use the HVP in question and more recalls may be on the way. Check the FDA website for a complete list of affected foods.
