Palmer Candy has updated its recall of "white confectionary products" to include more items.
SIOUX CITY, Iowa (KCAU) — Palmer Candy is expanding a recall of "white confectionary products" it issued earlier in May to include more items and best-by dates.
Palmer Candy announced Friday that its Patriotic White Fudge Cookies (13.5 oz) and Drizzled Caramel Corn (5 oz. and 12 oz) were also being recalled due to potential salmonella contamination. More best-by dates were also added for six additional products.
A variety of confections were originally recalled due to a salmonella risk. According to the FDA, people infected with salmonella can experience fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. In rare instances, salmonella infection can result in bloodstream contamination — producing more severe illnesses, including arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis, and arthritis.
The recalled items were distributed internationally and were available for purchase at Walmart, Hy-Vee, Target, and Dollar General stores in Alabama, California, Florida, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.
The product was distributed in different packaging such as bags, pouches, and tubs.
