Salmonella infection can cause health issues, including diarrhea, stomach cramps, fever, nausea, vomiting, and headaches. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), symptoms typically appear between six hours and six days after consuming contaminated food, with most cases lasting four to seven days.
While many individuals recover without medical intervention, the risk of severe illness is significantly higher for young children, older adults, and individuals with compromised immune systems. You should seek medical attention if you experience a high fever, prolonged vomiting, signs of dehydration, or bloody stools.
If you believe you became ill from consuming this product, you can report the incident directly to the FDA through its official safety reporting portal.
