The FDA has announced that HVP manufactured by Basic Food Flavors has been recalled, which estimates that 10,000 products will also be affected by this recall. Hydrolyzed vegetable protein (HVP) is a flavor enhancer commonly used in processed foods.
HVP is found in snack foods such as potato chips and pretzels. It's also used in dry mixes for chip dips, gravy, au jus and marinades. HVP is also used in frozen foods (such as taquitos and quesadillas) and in fresh foods such as potato salad and fresh dips found from local grocery stores.
The recall was issued due to possible salmonella contamination. Salmonella is one of the most common causes of food borne illness in the United States. This may cause fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain.

El Pasado Shredded Beef Mini and Beef Taquitos & Grilled Chicken Quesadillas
