Officials Issue High-Risk Recall of Candy Due to Salmonella Fears
Sweet treats found in several stores across the nation are being recalled due to the risk of salmonella, which can cause serious illness.
Some of the retailers affected are Walmart, Target, and Dollar General where Palmer Candy Company’s “White Coated Confectionary Items” are sold, Fox Business reported Saturday.
The company is recalling the treats because “they have the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella, an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems,” the FDA noted in May.
“Palmer Candy was notified by its liquid coating supplier that there was a potential for contamination with salmonella from an ingredient that was potentially contaminated from one of their suppliers,” officials added.
On Tuesday, the recall was deemed at the highest risk level, which is a class one. However, there are no reports of people being hurt or made sick. (Read more from “Officials Issue High-Risk Recall of Candy Due to Salmonella Fears” HERE)
