  • Do not use any recalled products. If you have any of these recalled products in your home, throw them out or return them to the store.
  • Wash items and surfaces that may have touched the recalled products using hot soapy water or a dishwasher.
  • Call your healthcare provider if you have any severe Salmonella symptoms.

About Salmonella: 

  • Most people infected with Salmonella develop diarrhea, fever, and stomach cramps 6 hours to 6 days after being exposed to the bacteria.
  • The illness usually lasts 4 to 7 days, and most people recover without treatment.
  • In some people, the illness may be so severe that the patient is hospitalized.
  • Children younger than 5, adults 65 and older, and people with weakened immune systems are more likely to have severe illness.

If you have questions about cases in a particular state, please call that state’s health department.
