## Why This Recall is Important
Salmonella contamination poses a significant risk to human health, especially for vulnerable populations such as young children, elderly individuals, and those with compromised immune systems. For healthy individuals, a Salmonella infection can cause unpleasant symptoms like:
- Fever
- Diarrhea (possibly bloody)
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Abdominal pain
In severe cases, Salmonella can enter the bloodstream, leading to life-threatening conditions like arterial infections, endocarditis, or arthritis. While no illnesses have been reported from these recalled products at the time of this writing, the potential risks demand immediate action.
