Food Recall Update – Miss Vickie’s Original Recipe Kettle Cooked Potato Chips

OTTAWA – The food recall warning issued on November 3, 2020 has been updated to include additional distribution information. This additional information was identified during the Canadian Food Inspection Agency’s (CFIA) food safety investigation.

On November 2, 2020, PepsiCo Foods Canada took the precautionary measure of issuing a voluntary recall in Ontario, Quebec and Atlantic Canada for a limited number of Miss Vickie’s® potato chip products due to isolated reports of the presence of a small piece of glass found at the bottom of the bag. These recall actions are now complete, however one impacted product was inadvertently shipped to retail customers in Alberta, Brandon – Manitoba and Moose Jaw – Saskatchewan.

The company says no consumer complaints have been received from Alberta, Manitoba or Saskatchewan for the impacted product. The company is working closely with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) to coordinate the recall.

The impacted product is a very small quantity (630 bags) of one SKU. It’s important to note the “Guaranteed Fresh” dates and “Manufacturing Codes” as this is the only product included in this recall.

These products were only sold in Alberta, Brandon – Manitoba and Moose Jaw – Saskatchewan and are the same products impacted in the previously announced (November 2) recall in Eastern Canada (Ontario, Quebec and Atlantic Canada) which is now complete.  No other Miss Vickie’s® products sold in Alberta, Brandon – Manitoba and Moose Jaw – Saskatchewan are included in this recall. No other Miss Vickie’s® products are included in this recall.  No other “Guaranteed Fresh” dates or “Manufacturing Codes” for this specific Miss Vickie’s® product is included in this recall.

Consumers who have purchased the above product should not consume it and are urged to dispose of or return it to the place of purchase for a full refund. They can also direct any questions to 1-866-264-2056 or find more information at www.missvickies.ca.
