John B. Sanfilippo & Son, Inc. recalls over snack mix products due to possible health risk
John B. Sanfilippo & Son, Inc. is voluntarily recalling its snack mix products flavored with a seasoning manufactured by a third-party supplier that contained a recalled dry milk powder that has the potential of being contaminated by Salmonella, according to a Department of War All Food and Drug Activity message sent May 7. The affected seasoning batches tested negative for Salmonella prior to use; however, the company is taking this action as a precautionary measure because of the potential that these products may contain the presence of Salmonella.
Salmonella can be potentially life-threatening, especially to infants, older people, pregnant women and people with weakened immune systems. It can cause salmonellosis, one of the most common bacterial foodborne illnesses. Salmonella’s most common symptoms are diarrhea, abdominal cramps and fever. Salmonella’s symptoms usually develop between eight to 72 hours after consumption of the contaminated food and last about four to seven days.
The Defense Commissary Agency (DeCA) has publicized this recall to all its stores, said Richard Stith, chief, public health division, DeCA Headquarters at Fort Lee, Virginia. Whenever a commissary has recalled or withdrawn products in its inventory, they are immediately removed from store shelves.
