My wife and I enjoy factory tours… I see form your website that you started about the same time as Snyder’s of Hanover, and you’re located in the same town. I would like to continue enjoying your fine snacks, but you must understand that I cannot take the risk if there are crabs lurking around! Do you have them in tanks there at the factory? Oh, I shudder at the imagery! You must imagine that for me, seeing a lobster tank at the grocery store is like anyone else walking into a mine field! I can become violently ill and go into anaphylactic shock just by eating some food that simply came into contact witht he same cooking surface or prep area as things like shrimp, crab, oysters, lobster, crayfish, clams, mussels, or calamari.Īre all of your flavors of chips processed on the same line? Do you use just the crab juice to flavor your chips, or is it ground up pieces of crab meat? Who on earth would want to eat crab flavored chips? I ask because as I’m sure you’re aware, there are new regulations regarding disclosing the top allergens on food packaging, and I don’t recall any warning on your product packaging indicating that “THIS PRODUCT WAS MANUFACTURED IN A FACILITY THAT ALSO PROCESSES WHEAT, SOY, PEANUT, AND SHELLFISH INGREDIENTS” or anything of that sort. You see, my friends, I have a severe allergy to shellfish. In looking at your site, I discovered that you have “crab” flavored chips, and my heart nearly stopped. So, I started researching my own favorite chip brands… to compile my own (much more accurate) list. There was an article the other day on Yahoo! mentioning the “best” chips, and they didn’t happen to mention any of my favorite brands. I’m sure this is cryptic to you by now, so I’ll try to do my best to explain. I have yet to try your Grandma’s Handcooked Chips, but look forward to purchasing a bag in the near future. Sheetz is a damn fine establishment, don’t you think? Although, I must confess, I have a love for Snyder of Berlin Honey Bar-B-Q chips and Herr’s Ketchup flavored chips that I sometimes have to fulfill at Sheetz.

I’m writing to you today to tell you how much I enjoy Utz snacks… or rather, how much I hope to continue enjoying them! I generally seem to buy Utz chips when we’re at Sheetz. Subject: Crab flavored chips? Ah! (&) A tour sounds nice… Well, in the ongoing Chip Wars saga that isn’t ruffling as many feathers as I’d like (yet), we have a letter to & response from Utz:įrom: ERiC AiXeLsyD Saturday, July 03, 2010
