Paqui brand 'One Chip Challenge' snacks have been recalled in Canada due to reported 'adverse reactions.'
Health Canada has issued a recall for Paqui brand "One Chip Challenge" snacks due to reported "adverse reactions."
The health agency says the recall was triggered by the company that makes the snack, Amplify Snack Brands Inc., after several reports of consumers becoming sick when eating them.
The recall comes after the death of a teen in Massachussetts. An autopsy is pending, but the 14-year-old's parents are blaming the challenge for his Sept. 1 death.
A spokesperson for Texas-based Paqui says the One Chip Challenge is sold "in very limited distribution in Canada."
The recalled "One Chip Challenge" is a spicy snack made from Carolina Reaper and Naga Viper peppers that has taken social media by storm. Participants in the challenge eat the chip and then see how long they can go without drinking water or eating other food afterward.
The company's website describes the snack as "intended for adults only, with clear and prominent labelling highlighting the chip is not for children or anyone sensitive to spicy foods or who has food allergies, is pregnant or has underlying health conditions."
The Paqui spokesperson says the company is "deeply saddened" and expresses its condolences to Harris Wolobah's family.
