The frozen prepared dinner was packaged in a 9 oz box and marked with a UPC 0-7989310436-9, the lot number 141006 and a “best by” date of August 6, 2015. The product was sold at stores from Oct 9, 2014, through December 1, 2014.

Salmonella is a bacteria that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections. Young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems are especially vulnerable. Symptoms include fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. In rare cases, the infection can travel to the bloodstream producing more severe illnesses.
