Issue

This recall is linked to an ongoing investigation into a foodborne illness outbreak. Please refer to the Food Safety Investigation page for further details and related recall notifications and food recall warnings

What you should do

  • If you think you became sick from consuming a recalled product, contact your healthcare provider
  • Check to see if you have recalled products

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

Healthy people may experience short-term symptoms such as fever, headache, vomiting, nausea, abdominal cramps and diarrhea. Long-term complications may include severe arthritis.
