Although there have been no reported illnesses as of yet, it’s good to be aware of the symptoms of salmonella (or “salmonellosis,” as it’s also known) which can be tricky to identify, since it manifests itself between 6 and 72 hours after ingesting something that’s been contaminated. Abdominal cramping, diarrhea and fever can be expected and, while most cases last between four and seven days and typically resolve themselves on their own (without the need for medication or hospitalization), it can become more serious in cases involving young children or the elderly.
A full list of affected Ritz (Mondelez) products can be found here and Goldfish (Pepperidge Farms) products can be found here.
