If you purchased any of these pastries, do not eat them. If you froze them for later use, discard those as well; Salmonella bacteria can survive the freezing process. You can throw them away or take them back to the place of purchase for a refund.
If you ate any of these pastries, monitor your health for the symptoms of Salmonella food poisoning for the next week. If you do get sick, see your doctor.
