As a Beaufort car accident lawyer, I’m saddened to hear about this food recall linked to Salmonella. I urge consumers with this product to throw it out or return it to stores for a full refund. Salmonella is a potentially fatal foodborne illness that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, the elderly and others with weakened immune systems. If you believe you were sickened by foodborne bacteria, contact a doctor immediately.
