Why are coated pretzels, snack mixes recalled?
According to the FDA, Palmer Candy was notified by its liquid coating supplier that an ingredient from one of their suppliers was potentially contaminated with salmonella.
No illnesses have been reported to date.
The company and the FDA continue to investigate, and production of the product was suspended as the probe unfolds.
What is salmonella?
Salmonella is "an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy persons infected with salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. 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," according to the FDA.
What to do with recalled items?
Consumers who purchased white-coated confectionary items manufactured by Palmer Candy Co. can return them to their place of purchase for a full refund. Anyone with questions can call Palmer at 800-831-0828 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays.
