Impact verdict
Low impact. Loss pathway: A Class I FDA recall by a single snack-food manufacturer activates product recall and product contamination/liability cover on Utz's insurance programme. Evidence: No insured loss, no damage inventory, no market reserving or pricing reaction reported; a single-brand, single-product-category recall of potato chips rarely approaches the USD 100m insured-loss threshold. Limit: Scale is unresolved with no credible route to USD 100m based on current reporting.
