Plain-English summary
Herr's Foods Inc. has initiated a voluntary recall of 1.875 oz. bags of Sour Cream and Onion flavored Potato Chips. The recall is due to a packaging error where the product is incorrectly labeled as gluten-free.

The recall affects 231,120 units distributed across 22 states, including Virginia, Illinois, Florida, and California.
Consumers should check their pantry for the affected lot numbers and UPC 7260000061. If the product is found, consumers should stop using it and follow the instructions provided by the recalling firm for disposal or return.
