Health Risks of Salmonella

Healthy individuals may experience symptoms such as fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal cramps. In severe cases, Salmonella can enter the bloodstream, causing serious conditions like arterial infections and endocarditis.
Details of the Recall
The recall exclusively affects certain large-format powdered beverage mixes intended for food services and institutions. Some of these products may have reached consumers through e-commerce channels. As of now, there have been no reported illnesses related to this recall.
