    I had some Lay’s Kettle cooked jalapeño flavored chips a few days ago. I was terribly nauseous afterward, but had not thought it could be the chips. Today, I had the chips again at lunch and I’ve had severe nausea for hours now. I wish I could... See More just throw up and this feeling would go away. I am 100% certain it’s the potato chips | Symptoms: Nausea See Less

    My son has been eating the kettle corn that they make fresh at this location non stop and now he’s vomiting. At first it was a lot and his stomach was bothering him. Now he’s still throwing up but says his stomach isn’t hurting when he does… he just has to get it out. | Symptoms: Vomiting, Stomach Pain See Less

    I ate kettle brand chips (salt and vinegar) last night and began to feel sick about a half hour later. It began with nausea and then vomiting/diarrhea throughout the night. My girlfriend experienced a similar sickness a few weeks ago after we had the honey Dijon kettle chips | Symptoms: Diarrhea, Vomiting, Nausea See Less

    I seriously doubt that the chips are the issue, as they are made/processed by a reputable company, which has been around for decades. Can you think of anything else you ate that day? If you really believe it was the chips—and it may be, since both of you have been sick, contact the store, and more importantly, the company, right away.
