What is Salmonella?
Salmonella is an organism that can cause serious and fatal infections in children, the elderly and others with weakened immune systems, according to the CDC.
Most individuals infected with salmonella begin to show symptoms 12 to 72 hours after consuming the contaminated product. The main symptoms include diarrhea, fever and abdominal cramps.
Most people recover without treatment; however, in rare cases, the infection may require hospitalization, according to the CDC. Pregnant women are also at higher risk of developing an infection from it and should seek medical attention if symptoms appear.
Consumers who experience an illness due to the affected product should contact their healthcare provider to report their symptoms and receive medical care.
