Contaminated dry milk powder prompted a recall of eight products sold at ALDI and Walmart locations nationwide.
WASHINGTON — At least eight different products sold at ALDI and Walmart locations across the country are being recalled over salmonella concerns.
The products, pork rinds and frozen pizzas, contained dry milk powder that had been recalled because it may be contaminated with salmonella. The health alert, issued April 30 by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service, said more products could be included in the recall.
There are no reported illnesses connected to this recall at this time.
Salmonella can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections, particularly in young children, elderly people and those with weakened immune systems. Healthy people infected with the bacteria typically experience fever, diarrhea that may be bloody, nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain within 12 to 72 hours of consumption. Symptoms usually last four to seven days.
In rare cases, salmonella can enter the bloodstream and cause more severe illnesses including infected aneurysms, endocarditis and arthritis.
