Salmonella is an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems, according to the FDA. Salmonella can cause fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain.
In more serious cases, infections with salmonella can result in more severe illnesses such as arterial infections, endocarditis and arthritis.
The FDA said consumers should check their pantries for any of the products listed below and dispose of them.
