Look into mast cell activation syndrome. It’s unlikely anything is wrong with the bag of chips, but more so that you are reacting to something in the chips despite not being allergic to it. What happens is we have mast cells in our body and certain things can set them off in someone with the disorder. Highly processed foods and foods high in histamine and left overs are the biggest culprits.

Hi, thanks for your comment. TIP: It is possible to get food poisoning from chips and other packaged foods. The biggest risk of chips food poisoning comes from salmonella. Symptoms of Salmonella poisoning usually begin between 12-72 hours after eating and include bloody diarrhea, cramping, fever, and muscle aches. Have a good day!
