Residents should check their pantries and throw away any product affected by this recall, DOH said. Consumers who have had to discard products covered by the recall may contact General Mills Consumer Relations at (800) 230-8103.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention advise against consuming raw products made with flour. Salmonella infantis is killed by heat through baking, frying, sauteing or boiling products made with flour. All surfaces, hands and utensils should be properly cleaned after contact with flour or dough.
Healthy persons infected with Salmonella infantis, a bacteria, often experience nausea, diarrhea, fever and abdominal pains, according to DOH. Typically, symptoms start within six hours to six days after infection and last four to seven days. Anyone concerned about an illness should contact a physician.
