According to the FDA, Salmonella can cause serious and, at times, fatal infections in children, older adults or those with weakened immune systems.
A healthy person infected with Salmonella will often experience fever, nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, and abdominal pain.
At times, Salmonella can go into the bloodstream and cause severe illnesses such as endocarditis and arterial infections, the FDA said.
If you experience any of these symptoms after consuming this product, please contact an emergency healthcare provider or make an appointment with your doctor.
