This year’s challenge produced many videos showing people begging for water or milk or shoveling ice cream into their mouths after eating the chip.

A spokeswoman for Paqui, Kim Metcalfe, said that the company was “deeply saddened” by Harris’s death and “express our condolences to the family.”

By Thursday, all that remained on the challenge’s website was the company’s new statement, the original warning label and a shortened F.A.Q.

It was not immediately clear how many of the “One Chip Challenge” packages had been sold since the latest flavor was released in August.

A local CBS affiliate in Boston said on Wednesday that it had found the chip at a grocery store about 10 minutes from Harris’s school.

Honestly this seems like a good move until they determine what caused that kid's death
I can only imagine the heartbreak his family must be experiencing
