What happened

Who is at risk

Anyone who consumed these products could potentially be affected, though young children, elderly people, and those with weakened immune systems are at higher risk of serious illness from Salmonella.

What to do

If you have one of these recalled fruit kits, do not eat it—throw it away or return it to where you purchased it. Watch for symptoms of Salmonella infection (diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps) and contact your doctor if you experience these symptoms.
