Procter & Gamble said Monday it is willingly recalling two flavors of its Pringles potato crisps in response to a recommendation from the Food & Drug Administration.
P&G is recalling Pringles Restaurant Cravers Cheeseburger potato crisps and Pringles Family Faves Taco Night flavors as part of an industry ingredient recall to defend consumers from potential salmonella exposure. P&G said there have been no reports of salmonella-related illness in relative to these products.
P&G said a seasoning used in these two products contains hydrolyzed vegetable protein (HVP) manufactured by Basic Food Flavors, Inc., which has willingly recalled several lots of the ingredient because of potential salmonella exposure.
As a result, the FDA recommended that food manufacturers recall some products containing HVP manufactured by Basic Food Flavors, specially Pringles Restaurant Cravers with a "best by" date of Feb. 2011 and April 2011 and Pringles Family Faves with a "best by" date of May 2011, April 2011 and March 2011.
