Quaker says it has not received reports of illnesses related to the products covered by this market withdrawal. It further noted that it has reported these actions to the relevant local authorities.
Salmonella is an organism that can cause severe infections and occasionally fatal outcomes in young children, frail or elderly people and others with weakened immune systems.
Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhoea (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.
