(NEXSTAR) — Last month, several food recalls were issued over concerns of salmonella contamination, all linked to the same ingredient. Those recalls are still being issued, with a popular item sold at Costco and Walmart coming off the shelves earlier this week.
In late April, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) warned that several food items made with a recalled dry milk powder could be contaminated.
Since then, several food items that may be in your freezer or pantry have been recalled.
The most recent recall was shared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Monday. Select batches of Motor City Pizza Co. 5 Cheese Bread were recalled because the dry milk powder was used in the five-cheese sauce blend.
Other recalls linked to the powder impact frozen pizzas, pork rinds, multiple Zapp’s and Dirty brand chips, several snack mixes sold under brand names Fisher, Squirrel Brand, Southern Style Nuts, and Target’s private label, Good & Gather; select croutons sold at Kroger stores in several states; specialty beverages; and select 3-ounce bottles of Pork King Good Sour Cream & Onion seasoning products.
Also recalled because of the powder were several batches of sour cream and onion cheese curds sold only in New York, select pita chips sold at Giant Eagle stores in five states, a specific lot of sour cream and onion popcorn seasoning, multiple products containing a white cheddar seasoning, and a parmesan ranch seasoning product sold at Walmart stores nationwide.
What is salmonella, and what are the symptoms?
Salmonella bacteria can cause salmonellosis, the CDC explains. You can become infected by drinking or interacting with contaminated water; touching animals, their feces, or their spaces; or by eating contaminated food.
Diarrhea, fever, and stomach cramps are commonly associated with an infection. These symptoms can set in between six hours and six days after you’ve eaten contaminated food or otherwise been exposed to the bacteria.
Most people can recover on their own within four days to a week. Infections can be more serious for young children, the elderly, and those with weakened immune systems.
Some may require medical treatment or hospitalization, the CDC explains.
Every year, salmonella causes roughly 1.35 million illnesses and 420 deaths.
