Salmonella is a bacterial pathogen which can cause serious and sometimes fatal illness in children, the elderly, frail persons and people with weakened immune systems.

Healthy people who become infected with Salmonella may exhibit the following symptoms within 12 to 14 hours:

• fever
• diarrhea
• nausea
• vomiting
• abdominal cramps

In some cases the bacteria can spread from the intestines to the bloodstream where it can infect other organs which may result in death unless the patient is treated with antibiotics.

To date no serious illnesses have been reported from consumption of this product.

Customers who have bought this product should discard it and contact place of purchase for a refund.

According to the announcement, customers can call Lundberg Family Farms' customer service representatives at 530-538-3555, which is staffed five days a week, Monday through Friday, 8:30 AM to 5 PM Pacific Time, or leave a message at other times, with any questions or concerns about the product, or email [email protected].

The evil who make accusations against the innocent take heed because God does see it and will avenge as He did for David: "6 Appoint a wicked man over him; And let an accuser stand at his right hand. 7 When he is judged, let him come forth guilty; And let his prayer become sin. 8 Let his days be few; Let another take his office. 9 Let his children be fatherless, And his wife a widow. 10 Let his children wander about and beg; And let them seek sustenance far from their ruined homes. 11 Let the creditor seize all that he has; And let strangers plunder the product of his labor. 12 Let there be none to extend lovingkindness to him, Nor any to be gracious to his fatherless children. 13 Let his posterity be cut off; In a following generation let their name be blotted out. Psalm 109:6-20"
