Meal Kits Sold at Sam’s Club Recalled Because of Salmonella Concerns
Fresh Creative Foods is recalling The Beef & Lamb Gyro Sandwich Express Meal Kit because of possible Salmonella contamination. The recalled product contains cucumbers in the tzatziki sauce included in the kit. These cucumbers were recalled by Baloian Farms of Arizona Co. (Baloian) because of possible Salmonella.
The recalled meal kits were distributed to Sam’s Club warehouses nationally.
Food contaminated with Salmonella bacteria does not usually look, smell, or taste spoiled. Anyone can become sick with a Salmonella infection. Infants, children, seniors, and people with weakened immune systems are at higher risk of serious illness because their immune systems are fragile. Anyone who has eaten any of the recalled meal kits and developed symptoms of Salmonella infection should seek medical attention. Sick people should tell their doctors about the possible exposure to Salmonella bacteria because special tests are necessary to diagnose salmonellosis. Salmonella infection symptoms can mimic other illnesses, frequently leading to misdiagnosis.
Consumers who have purchased these kits should not consume any part of the kits.
