Health officials remind consumers that Salmonella-contaminated food may appear normal but can cause illness. Symptoms typically include fever, nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps, and diarrhea, with long-term effects such as severe arthritis in some cases.
Anyone who has purchased these products is urged to dispose of them or return them to the place of purchase.
