This is crazy to me, I live super close to the factory and I swear see their chips everywhere so they definitely still make products! I could probably go get a bag and rn and see if they added a notice

I had no idea that Hersey ice cream is not related to the chocolate! I thought their font was even similar?

It was actually Snyders of Hanover trying to acquire Utz in 2010 not Utz trying to acquire Snyder of Hanover. They also seem to have abandoned the proposition rather than being blocked. Interesting if Utz then acquired Snyder of Berlin. https://www.ftc.gov/sites/default/files/documents/closing_letters/snyders-house-hanover-inc./utz-quality-foods-inc./091203utzgriseletter.pdf

So did the disclaimer on the Snyders of Hanover bags preexist the Utz purchase of Snyder of Berlin?
