The principal at Northwestern Middle School in Fulton County said Thursday that a few students had a bad reaction to them and had to go to the clinic.

The chips do have several warnings on them.

Here’s the full letter to parents:

“Good Afternoon Parents/Guardians,

Today we had several students who ate chips while in school called Paqui: One Chip Challenge. I have attached a picture below. These are extremely spicy chips and there are several concerning warnings on the label. There were a few students who had adverse reactions and were treated by our Clinic. We actually called Poison Control as a part of our response. We talked with all of the student’s parents who we are aware ate the chips.

You can help us protect your student(s) by requesting that they not eat anything given to them by another person and anything that they have not brought from your home. In addition, please ensure your student does not bring these chips or other similar items to school.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Thank you for your continued support of Northwestern Middle School!

Sincerely,

Joel - Principal”
