Reason for Recall

The products are being recalled because they may be contaminated with Salmonella, a harmful bacterium that can cause foodborne illness.

Food contaminated with Salmonella may not look or smell spoiled but can still make consumers sick.

Health Risks

Symptoms of Salmonella infection may include:

• Fever
• Headache
• Nausea
• Vomiting
• Abdominal cramps
• Diarrhea

Young children, pregnant women, elderly individuals, and people with weakened immune systems are at higher risk of serious infections and complications.

What Consumers Should Do

Consumers are advised:

• Do not consume, sell, serve, or distribute the recalled products
• Throw the products away or return them to the place of purchase
• Contact a healthcare provider if illness is suspected after consumption
