Company Announcement

MAY 7, 2026 - Legacy Snack Solutions of Waukesha, Wisconsin, is voluntarily recalling certain batches of Giant Eagle Baked Pita Chips With Parmesan, Garlic & Herb because they have the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella. This action follows a California Diaries, Inc. milk powder recall due to a concern of potential Salmonella contamination.

Salmonella is an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. In rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e. infected aneurysms), endocarditis, and arthritis.

Giant Eagle Baked Pita Chips With Parmesan, Garlic & Herb was distributed and sold exclusively at Giant Eagle and Market District locations across Pennsylvania, Ohio, Maryland, West Virginia, and Indiana. The product is packaged in a 7.33 ounce, black bag with the Giant Eagle logo at the top, and is located in the snack aisle.
