Snack bag in the pantry? Check De Todito Natural and BBQ 45g bags in New Jersey and Utah

Snack recalls can be easy to miss because the product does not look risky. A foil bag of chips may look sealed, normal and ready to eat.

But FSIS is concerned that some of the recalled product may still be in consumers’ pantries. That means the most useful step is not complicated: check snack drawers, pantry shelves, lunchbox supplies and any small bags bought for sharing.

The key products are 45-g De Todito Natural and 45-g De Todito BBQ mixed chips that include pork cracklings.

The recall covers two 45-g foil bag products:

De Todito NATURAL mixed chips with CHICHARRÓN AMERICANO JACKS, Margarita and NATU CHIPS.

De Todito BBQ mixed chips with CHICHARRÓN AMERICANO JACKS, Margarita and NatuChips.

These are mixed chip snacks that contain chicharrón, which is why FSIS is involved.

At first glance, this may look like a simple chip recall. The important detail is that the products contain pork cracklings.

Because chicharrón is a meat product, it falls under meat import rules. FSIS says the products were produced in Colombia, and Colombia is not eligible to export meat products to the United States.

That is why the issue is described as an import violation, not as a seasoning problem.

The recalled products were shipped to a distributor in New Jersey and to retail locations in New Jersey and Utah.

That does not mean every snack bag in those states is affected. It means consumers in those areas have the strongest reason to check for these specific De Todito products.

If the bags were bought for a household, workplace, school event, party or shared pantry, check them before serving.

FSIS says the products subject to the recall do not bear any import marks on the labels.

That detail matters because eligible imported meat products normally need proper inspection and import documentation. A snack containing chicharrón but lacking the required import mark should not be treated like an ordinary bag of chips.

If the product matches the recalled description, the safest response is to follow the recall instructions rather than trying to judge the snack by appearance.

The problem was discovered after FSIS received a consumer complaint involving De Todito snack products containing dried plantains, potato chips and chicharrones imported from Colombia.

The affected mixed chip bags were imported on July 28, 2026.

At the time of the announcement, there were no confirmed reports of illness or injury due to consumption of the recalled products.

Consumers who have the recalled products should not consume them.

FSIS says the products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.

Because the bags are small, check places where snack packs often get forgotten: car consoles, lunch bags, office drawers, children’s snack bins, backpacks and pantry baskets.

Consumers and members of the media with questions about the recall can contact Humberto Gallego, owner of El Eden Import Distributor Corp., at [email protected].

Anyone concerned about illness or injury should contact a healthcare provider.

Check your pantry for 45-g De Todito Natural and 45-g De Todito BBQ mixed chip bags containing chicharrón, especially if they were purchased in New Jersey or Utah.

The recall involves approximately 264 pounds of product from El Eden Import Distributor Corp. because the pork cracklings were produced in Colombia, a country not eligible to export meat products to the United States.

If the product matches, do not eat it. Throw it away or return it to the place of purchase.
