Candy sold at Target, Walmart, Dollar General stores recalled due to salmonella threat
Candy sold at major retailers such as Walmart, Target, and Dollar General has been recalled due to the potential risk of salmonella contamination.
The FDA announced on May 6 that Palmer Candy Company, based in Sioux City, Iowa, is recalling its ‘White Coated Confectionery Items’ due to the possibility of being contaminated with Salmonella. This organism can cause serious infections, especially in vulnerable populations.
The recall was issued as a “Class I” recall, indicating the highest level of risk, on August 6. Despite the classification, there have been no reported injuries or illnesses associated with the products.
The affected products, including pretzels, cookies, and snack mixes, were sold at various retailers nationwide, as well as through distributors in multiple states.
Palmer Candy Company has halted the production of the impacted products since the initial recall announcement in May.
Salmonella infection is a common bacterial disease that affects the intestinal tract. Symptoms can include diarrhea, stomach cramps, and dehydration, particularly in high-risk groups such as the elderly and young children.
If someone experiences symptoms of salmonella infection, they should seek medical attention, especially if symptoms persist or if they have a high fever.
FOX Business has reached out to Palmer Candy Company for comment on the recall.
