If you believe you are sick due to consuming a recalled product, contact your physician. If you have purchased any of the listed products recently, check to see if they are a part of the recall, do not consume the product and recalled products should be thrown out, or returned to the location where they were purchased.
Short-term symptoms of salmonella include fever, headache, vomiting, nausea, abdominal cramps and diarrhea. Long-term complications may include severe arthritis. Young children, pregnant women, the elderly and those with weakened immune symptoms may contract serious and sometimes deadly infections.
