In rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis and arthritis," the FDA wrote in a news release. "Symptoms usually occur within 12 to 72 hours after eating contaminated food and usually last four to seven days."
The recalled products were sold in several states, including Arizona.
"Anyone who has an expired, recalled product in their possession should not consume it and should destroy or discard it," the FDA said.
