Pringles Recalled for Fear of Salmonella
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Procter & Gamble Co. has recalled two versions of Pringles chips because of concerns about potential Salmonella exposure.
The Cincinnati-based consumer products maker says the Cheeseburger and "Taco Night" versions of the snack are being recalled.
The company is offering replacement coupons or refunds.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}P&G says the two varieties represent only one-half of 1 percent of Pringles U.S volume and the recalled versions are only sold in the U.S.
The company says there have been no reports of illnesses.
P&G is the latest company to recall products with flavor-enhancing hydrolyzed vegetable protein made by Las Vegas-based Basic Food Flavors Inc.
