Next Steps
If you bought any of these items, do not eat them, even if some has been eaten and no one has been ill. Bacteria can cluster in small areas in a product and not every bite of a food may be contaminated. Throw them away in a secure garbage can or take them back to the store where you bought them for a full refund.
Then clean your pantry or refrigerator with soap and water to kill any remaining bacteria. Wash your hands with soap and water after cleaning and after handling these products.
If you ate any of these products and have been ill with the symptoms of Salmonella food poisoning, see your doctor. Symptoms include a fever, chills, headache, nausea, vomiting, abdominal and stomach cramps and pain, and diarrhea that may be bloody.
