A growing list of snacks are being recalled over Salmonella fears: Toss these products sold at Target and elsewhere

"Beginning last month, a company called California Dairies Inc. recalled buttermilk and bulk powdered milk distributed to manufacturers over fears that the ingredients could be contaminated with Salmonella, according to a safety alert posted by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Since that initial recall, numerous other brands have recalled their own products that used the recalled ingredients. Given the potentially deadly nature of Salmonella, the FDA has now compiled all recalled products into a single list to highlight their risk to consumers."

"The list of products primarily contains snack items that were sold at various locations across the United States, including one product that was sold in Target stores. The number of recalls associated with the original California Dairies now totals eight, according to a May 11 update from the FDA. Those eight recalls include the following: The recalled snack item sold at Target is a Good & Gather Mexican Street Corn Trail Mix product."

"Symptoms of a Salmonella infection can vary from individual to individual. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), most people who contract a Salmonella infection present with the following symptoms: Watery diarrhea that might have blood or mucus; Stomach cramps that can be severe. Additionally, some people have other symptoms, including: Symptoms can start anywhere from 6 hours to 6 days after infection."

"The FDA notes that most people will recover from a Salmonella infection without treatment in 4 to 7 days. However, an infection can be more serious for some people, including those at higher risk. The FDA emphasizes that consumers should be aware of symptoms and seek medical care when necessary."
