Salmonella recalls are among the most common in the food category. Symptoms appear quickly — within a week of exposure — so if you ate this product recently, watch for fever and gastrointestinal symptoms.
About Salmonella contamination
Salmonella is one of the most common causes of foodborne illness in the United States, responsible for an estimated 1.35 million infections annually. Symptoms include diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps, usually appearing 6 hours to 6 days after exposure and lasting 4 to 7 days. Most people recover without treatment, but young children, elderly adults, and immunocompromised individuals are at higher risk of serious illness requiring hospitalization.

About the FDA CFSAN
This recall was issued by the FDA's Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition (CFSAN), which oversees most packaged foods, produce, seafood, dietary supplements, and bottled water sold in the United States. The FDA monitors the food supply through facility inspections, laboratory testing, import screening, and consumer reports. When a contamination or labeling problem is found, the FDA works with the company on a voluntary recall or requests a mandatory one. Recalls are classified by severity: Class I (reasonable probability of serious harm or death), Class II (possible temporary adverse effects, remote probability of serious harm), Class III (unlikely to cause health effects, but violates regulations).
