I bought some Terra chips, (2 bags infact cuz of a deal at here). Had some (about 10) and an hour later, I felt bloated, lightheaded, dizzy, not able to concentrate or focus, and diarrhea that followed. Thought it was some other food that I ate, but nope it wasn't. Day later tried the 2nd flavor, and hour and a half later, same symptoms happened. Didnt feel good for about 3 days, and could barely eat anything. Tried an experiment with eating the 2nd flavor(of about 7 chips) and an hour later same symptoms occurred. So I closed up the bags and contacted the hain company(maker of Terra chips) and filled out a form. Heard from them that next morning in email. They wanted me to call them with product in hand, so I did, and they told me that the health and wellness team would get back to me. Here it is 2 days later, no one called. So I called again this morning, the gal stated she was going to see if there was anyone available from the health and wellness team, but of course there wasn't, so she stated that she sent my info over to them and they would contact me. I asked her when because it has already been 24-48 hours and no contact whatsoever. Wow, its a good thing though that I didn't end in the hospital from these chips. | Symptoms: Diarrhea, Lightheaded, Bloating, Dizziness, Other

I too had gotten severe food poisoning from these, about 4 years ago. Bad nausea/vomiting a couple hours after eating a big portion of Terra chips. This was in CO.
