The bags have the Lot Number or ID:30723 and an Expiration/Use By Date of 2025-01-22.

About Salmonella Infections

Anyone who has consumed any of the recalled products and developed symptoms of Salmonella infection should seek medical attention. Sick people should tell their doctors about the possible exposure to Salmonella bacteria because Salmonella infection symptoms can mimic other illnesses, frequently leading to misdiagnosis.

Symptoms can include diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and fever within 12 to 72 hours after eating contaminated food. Otherwise, healthy adults are usually sick for four to seven days. In some cases, however, patients require hospitalization.

Older adults, children, pregnant women, and people with weakened immune systems are more likely to develop a severe illness and serious, sometimes life-threatening conditions, so this is a recall to take seriously!

Some people get infected without getting sick or showing any symptoms. However, they may still spread the infections to others.

You should not eat the recalled product. Throw it away or return it to the place of purchase for a refund. Receipts are not needed to return recalled products.

Other Salmonella Recalls

Salmonella has caused a number of recalls lately.

Last week, Clasen Quality Chocolate Inc. recalled more than 4.3 million pounds of chocolate and confectionery products because of potential Salmonella contamination.

Earlier last month, cucumbers contaminated with Salmonella were recalled in 14 states after making hundreds of people sick. Around the same time as that recall, more than 50,000 pounds of seasoning, starch blend, and breader was also recalled because of potential Salmonella contamination in an ingredient.
