⚠️ What Is Salmonella? Salmonella is a bacterium that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections, particularly in young children, elderly individuals, and those with weakened immune systems. Common symptoms include:
  • Fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain

If you believe you may have consumed a recalled product and are experiencing these symptoms, contact your healthcare provider promptly.
