Salmonella is an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections, particularly in young children, the elderly, and persons with weakened immune systems. Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and/or 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.
Information about this recall can be obtained by calling Cargill's consumer relations toll free telephone number (1-888-812-1646) or by calling 1-800-Safeway. Information about salmonella can be obtained at the Centers for Disease Control web site, http://www.cdc.gov/salmonella.
