A plant-based chip company that sells its products nationwide, including in Kansas, has recalled several varieties because they may pose significant health risks.
Snack Right Super Foods, which does business as Brad’s Raw Chips, voluntarily recalled some of its products Nov. 2 after a customer was found with elevated thallium levels.
In May, the California Department of Public Health advised consumers not to eat certain varieties of Brad’s Raw Chips. State health officials said they collected samples from retail stores and “laboratory testing found elevated thallium levels in multiple varieties.”
Thallium exposure “at relatively high levels” could cause gastroenteritis, peripheral nerve damage and hair loss, according to the Nov. 3 recall notice.
“The recall was initiated after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) advised the firm of thallium in tested products,” the notice states. “Brassica crops such as kale are known to accumulate certain elements from soil. The manufacturing process did not introduce the contaminant; however, the dehydration process removes approximately 85 to 90 percent of the product’s water, which concentrates elements already present in the fresh kale.”
