Paqui One Chip Challenge Discontinued Amid Safety Concerns
Controversial Snack Linked to Illness and Death
Company Removes Product from Website After Teen's Fatality
The Paqui One Chip Challenge, a popular spicy snack, has been discontinued following numerous reports of adverse reactions, including illness and death.
A spokesperson for the company confirmed the discontinuation, stating that the One Chip Challenge has been removed from their website.
In the past, the One Chip Challenge has been criticized for making people sick. Recently, a teen who participated in the challenge on social media died after ingesting the chip.
Harris Wolobah, a previously healthy 14-year-old, died in September 2023, hours after eating the Paqui One Chip Challenge chip.
The death of Wolobah has raised concerns about the safety of the product. Paqui has since removed the One Chip Challenge from its website and has not yet announced any plans to reintroduce it.
The One Chip Challenge is a tortilla chip coated in a spicy seasoning. The chip is marketed as a challenge, and participants are encouraged to eat the entire chip in one bite.
However, the chip has been known to cause severe reactions, including vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. In some cases, the chip has also been linked to more serious health problems, such as heart problems and seizures.
The discontinuation of the One Chip Challenge is a significant move by Paqui. The product was a popular seller, and its removal from the market is likely to have a significant financial impact on the company.
However, the discontinuation is also a positive step forward for safety. The One Chip Challenge has been linked to numerous adverse reactions, and its discontinuation will help to protect consumers from future harm.
