Salmonella can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young
children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems.
Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often experience fever,
diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. In rare
circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in the organism
getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as
arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis and arthritis.
(B)ulk items were distributed to the following states: WI, IL,
NY, CT, UT, MN, NJ, VT, FL, MA, PA, CA, MI, NV, MO, TX, MD, OH & Canada...
