recall<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Best-by dates on all of the products range from January 2027 to August 2027.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">No illnesses have been reported in connection to the recall.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The FDA is urging customers who have purchased the items to not consume them and return them to the place of purchase for a refund or replacement.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Salmonella is among the leading causes of foodborne illness in the US, infecting about 1.35 million people every year, the CDC estimates, and leads to 26,500 hospitalizations and 420 deaths.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Symptoms appear within eight to 72 hours of an infection, and include diarrhea, stomach cramps, fever, nausea and vomiting.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">In some cases, however, no symptoms appear at all.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Doctors say that warning signs of the infection generally last a few days to a week and that most patients do not need to see a doctor.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">However, they warn that infants, young children, pregnant women and older adults are particularly at risk from salmonella because they have a weaker immune system.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Most people infected with Salmonella recover within a week without treatment, but severe cases may require hospitalization.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">In serious cases, the bacteria can spread from the intestines into the blood and infect other organs, such as the brain, heart or lungs, which can trigger the potentially fatal complication sepsis.<\/p>\n<div class=\"artSplitter mol-img-group\" style=\"\">\n<div class=\"mol-img\">\n<div
