(Washington, DC) -- Dozens of snacks and candies are being recalled because of a salmonella risk. The FDA says it's upgrading its recall of about two dozen snacks made by the Palmer Candy Company because the white candy coatings on the snacks may have been contaminated. The snacks were sold nationwide at retailers like Target, Walmart and Dollar General and have a best-buy date of April 2025. The FDA says the recall has been upgraded to its highest level of health hazard because there is a reasonable probability that the use of or exposure to the product will cause "serious adverse health consequences or death."
